i have a problem running a server, that accepts multiple users for a chat client. It accpets more than one person, but only one person gets to type anything. here is the code If anyone can tell me whats wrong that'd be great.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class SimpleThreadedServer3
{
static final int portNumber = 5095;
private ServerSocket ss;
private InetAddress addr;
private PrintWriter writer;
private
String messageIn,messageOut;
private BufferedReader reader;
public static void main(String [] args)
{
new SimpleThreadedServer3().initiateStartUp();
}
public void initiateStartUp()
{
try{
addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Creating Server Socket at:"+portNumber+" . . . ");
System.out.println("At Host:"+ addr.getHostName()+" . . .");
System.out.println("At Address:"+ addr.getHostAddress()+" . . .");
ss = new ServerSocket(portNumber);
System.out.println("System Online ...");
while(true)
{
Socket sock = ss.accept();
writer = new PrintWriter(sock.getOutputStream());
System.out.println(sock+ "I am a white man");
String m = "stinky";
writer.println(m);
new
Thread(new ClientHandler(sock)).start();
}
}catch(IOException e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
class ClientHandler implements Runnable
{
private Socket sock;
public ClientHandler(Socket s)
{
try{
sock = s;
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
System.out.println(reader+"stinky bear");
String messageIn;
while((messageIn = reader.readLine())!=null)
{
System.out.println(messageIn);
writer.println(messageIn);
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public void run()
{
String messageOut;
try{
while((messageOut = reader.readLine())!= null)
{
System.out.println(messageOut);
sendToAll(messageOut);
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
public void sendToAll(String messageOut)
{
try{
writer.println(messageIn);
writer.println(messageOut);
writer.flush();
}catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
