Hi.... I am trying to write a program which contains a server & a client. First I write the program as server sends some messages and client prints them. It is working fine. But when I added the code to send messages from client to server... Now it is not working. My code is
Chat Server


Chat Client


It seems that server is waiting at this line
System.out.println("Client: "+ bfr.readLine().toString());

If I commented out this line, the program is working fine. I am unable to understand what I have done wrong. As I was new to Java, please give me some suggestion.

I'd say that if you're writing socket based code you're a little beyond 'beginner' level! You've basically been caught out by a little gotcha.

It's always 'good practice' to flush your PrintWriter after you've built up what you want to send (this is true for any socket level communication).

I think you'll find that a after will do the trick.

Cheers,
Martijn
