CN - Exp5 - Socket Programming

This document describes a Java program for socket programming between a client and server. Socket programming allows applications on different machines to communicate. The Socket class represents an endpoint for communication and the ServerSocket class handles incoming client connections. The program creates a server socket on port 6666 that waits for a client to connect. Once connected, the server receives and prints the message sent from the client socket. Running the client and server programs on different command prompts demonstrates one-way communication between the client and server.

AIM: Java program for Socket Programming

THEORY:
Java Socket Programming
o Java Socket programming is used for communication between the applications running
on different JRE.
o Java Socket programming can be connection-oriented or connection-less.
o 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. The Socket
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 connects 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 each program 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 and


displayed in MyServer Terminal/CMD as shown below,

Fig.
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.
