Socket Connection.. Was working, now it's not??

[Brad Walton]

I had a working socket connection just yesterday, and now it's not working, but nothing has changed?! Here is the code:

package test;
 
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
 
public class socketTest
{

public static void connect(String ipAddress, int port)
{
try
{
// Connect to server
Socket mySocket = new Socket(ipAddress, port);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(mySocket.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(mySocket.getInputStream()));
 
// Print the next 10 lines of input
int x = 0;
String line;
while (x < 10)
{
System.out.println(in.readLine());
x++;
}
 
// Close connections
out.close();
in.close();
mySocket.close();
}
catch (UnknownHostException uhe)
{
System.err.println("ServerConnection.connect: UnknownHostException! at connection");
System.err.println(uhe.toString());
}
catch (IOException ioe)
{
System.err.println("ServerConnection.connect: IOException! at connection");
System.err.println(ioe.toString());
}
}
 
public static void main(String[] args)
{
socketTest.connect("192.168.1.55", 2001);
}
}

The result is 10 immediate 'nulls' and the socket is closed. Any idea why the readLine is returning null? Isn't that supposed to wait on a line of data? I am perplexed on this and have been looking at it too long now. I need some fresh eyes on it. Thanks for any help.

Nevermind.. there was a configuration error in the application I was connecting to. Problem fixed.
