Java Network programming using socket (1), programmingusing
Java supports stream-based communication and packet-based communication, and the first is universal.
Create ServerSocket
1.Create ServerSocket
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket (port );
2.Listen to the connect
Socket socket = serverSocket. accept ();
3.We need create InputStream and OutputStream to transmit data
InputStream inputFromClient = socket. getInputSream ();
OutputStream outputToClient = socket. getOutputStream ();
(We can also use DataInputStream and DataOutputStream, BufferedReader and PrintWriter to get the data types are int, double and string .)
Create client Socket
1.Create client Socket
Socket socket = new Socket (serverName, port );
(The serverName can be host name or the host IP address .)
2.We need create InputStream and OutputStream to transmit data
InputSream inputFromServer = socket. getInputStream ();
OutputStream outputToServer = socket. getOutputStream ();
(We can also use DataInputStream and DataOutputStream, BufferedReader and PrintWriter to get the data type are int, double or string .)
Now, there is an example that Client sends radius to Server and Server compute area and return to Client.
Server. java
import java.awt.BorderLayout;import java.io.DataInputStream;import java.io.DataOutputStream;import java.io.IOException;import java.net.ServerSocket;import java.net.Socket;import java.util.Date;import javax.swing.JFrame;import javax.swing.JScrollPane;import javax.swing.JTextArea;public class Server extends JFrame { private JTextArea jta=new JTextArea(); public static void main(String[] args) { new Server(); } public Server() { setLayout(new BorderLayout()); add(new JScrollPane(jta),BorderLayout.CENTER); setTitle("Server"); setSize(500,300); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setVisible(true); try{ //Create a server socket ServerSocket serverSocket=new ServerSocket(8000); jta.append("Server started at "+new Date() +"\n"); //Listen for a connection request Socket socket=serverSocket.accept(); //Create data input and output streams DataInputStream inputFromClient=new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream()); DataOutputStream outputToClient=new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream()); while (true) { //Receive radius from the client double radius=inputFromClient.readDouble(); //Compute area double area=radius*radius*Math.PI; //Send area back to the client outputToClient.writeDouble(area); jta.append("Radius received from client:"+radius +'\n'); jta.append("Area found:" +area+'\n'); } } catch(IOException ex){ System.err.println(ex); } }}
Client. java
