EXPERIMENT NO – 10

AIM: Java program for Socket Programming

THEORY:
Java Socket Programming
 Java Socket programming is used for communication between the applications
running on different JRE.
 Java Socket programming can be connection-oriented or connection- less.
 Socket and ServerSocket classes are used for connection-oriented socket
programming and DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket classes are used for
connection-less socket programming.

The client in socket programming must know two information:

a) IP Address of Server, and
b) Port number.
Here, we are going to make one-way client and server communication.
In this application, client sends a message to the server, server reads
the message and prints it. Here, two classes are being used: Socket and
ServerSocket.
The Socket class is used to communicate client and server. Through
this class, we can read and write message. The ServerSocket class is
used at server-side. The accept() method of ServerSocket class blocks
the console until the client is connected. After the successful
connection of client, it returns the instance of Socket at server-side.

#Socket class
A socket is simply an endpoint for communications between the
machines. TheSocket class can be used to create a socket.

#ServerSocket class
The ServerSocket class can be used to create a server socket. This
object is used to establish communication with the clients.

Creating Server:
To create the server application, we need to create the instance of
ServerSocket class. Here, we are using 6666 port number for the
communication between the client and server. You may also choose
any other port number. The accept() method waits for the client. If
clients connect with the given port number, it returns an instance of
Socket.
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(6666);
Socket s=ss.accept();//establishes connection and waits for the client

Creating Client:
To create the client application, we need to create the instance of
Socket class. Here, we need to pass the IP address or hostname of the
Server and a port number. Here, we are using "localhost" because our
server is running on same system.
Socket s=new Socket("localhost",6666);

CODE:

MyServer.java file
import
java.io.*;
import
java.net.*;
public class
MyServer{
public static void
main(String[] args){try
{
ServerSocket ss=new
ServerSocket(6666); Socket
s=ss.accept(); //establishes connection
DataInputStream dis=new
DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());String
str=(String)dis.readUTF();
System.out.println("message
= "+str);ss.close();
}
catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
}
}

MyClient.java file -

import java.io.*
import java.net.*; public class MyClient
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
Socket s=new Socket("localhost",6666);
DataOutputStream dout=new
DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
dout.writeUTF("Hello Server");
dout.flush();
dout.close();
s.close();
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
}
}

OUTPUT:
To execute this program open two command prompts and execute
eachprogram at each command prompt as displayed in the below
figures.

First run Myserver.java file in terminal/cmd,

Running MyServer.java

Then in new terminal/cmd run MyClient.java file,

Running MyClient.java

As soon as you run MyClient program a message is sent to server anddisplayed in

MyServer Terminal/CMD as shown below,

Message displayed in MyServer after running MyClient

CONCLUSION: So, in this experiment we have successfully understood the

concept of Socket Programming and implemented it using Java Programming.
