Java Networking Summary Easy

Java networking involves exchanging data between devices using the java.net package, primarily for client-server communication. Key concepts include IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols like TCP and UDP, along with main classes such as InetAddress, Socket, and ServerSocket. A basic client-server example demonstrates how a server sends a message to a client, which can also send data back to the server.

Java Networking Basics:

- Networking = Exchanging data between devices.

- Java supports networking with java.net package.

- Used for client-server communication.

Important Terms:

- IP Address: Identifies a device (e.g., 192.168.0.1)

- Port Number: Identifies a service (e.g., port 80 = HTTP)

- Together: IP + Port = Full address for communication

Protocols:

- TCP: Reliable, connection-based (used in most cases)

- UDP: Faster, connection-less (for simple messages)

Main Networking Classes:

- InetAddress: Get IP/Hostname

- Socket: For client connections

- ServerSocket: For server side

- URL & URLConnection: For web resources

InetAddress Examples:

- getLocalHost(), getByName("google.com"), getAllByName()

- Methods: getHostName(), getHostAddress()

Socket Programming Basics:

1. Server creates ServerSocket(port)

2. Server calls accept() to wait for connection

3. Client creates Socket(server_IP, port)

4. Connection established, both can send/receive

Streams for Communication:

- Input: getInputStream() -> Read data

- Output: getOutputStream() -> Send data


- Use DataInputStream, DataOutputStream, PrintStream

Socket Close:

Always close:

1. Streams (input/output)

2. Sockets

3. ServerSocket (server side)

Client-Server Example:

Server: Sends 'Hello, Client!'

Client: Connects and reads message

Classes: Socket, ServerSocket, PrintWriter, BufferedReader

DIY Task:

Client sends name to server.

Server replies: 'Hello, [name]! Welcome to the server!'
