Socket Programming: Using Java

The document discusses socket programming in Java. It introduces sockets as endpoints for two-way communication between programs over a network. It shows code examples for creating client and server sockets in Java. It also covers exchanging data between the client and server by sending/receiving messages and closing sockets. The document provides code for a complete echo client-server example and a multi-threaded persistent server. Finally, it discusses writing simple SMTP and POP clients using socket programming.

Introduction to Sockets

 A socket is one end-point of a two-way communication


link between two programs running on the network.
Client Server
Socket Socket

IP: 192.168.230.1 IP: 192.168.230.2

Introduction to Sockets
Creating a Client Socket
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class CreateClientSocket {


public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

Socket socket = null;


PrintWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;

try {
//create a client socket
socket = new Socket("localhost", 4444);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Don't know about host: localhost.");
System.exit(1);
}
}
Introduction to Sockets
Creating a Server Socket
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class CreateServerSocket {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ServerSocket serverSocket=null;
Socket clientSocket = null;
String inputLine, outputLine;
try {
//creating a server socket
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4444);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Could not listen on port: 4444");
System.exit(-1);
}
try {
//accepting a clients request
clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Accept failed: 4444");
System.exit(-1);
}
}
}
Introduction to Sockets
Exercise # 1
 Compile the CreateServerSocket and
CreateClientSocket classes and run them.
Analyze the traffic using ethereal when you run
them.
Introduction to Sockets
Exchanging Data Between Client & Server
 Sending message to server from client and
receiving replies from the server
// Create a print writer to writing to the socket. In other words, to send data to
// server
out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);

// Create an input stream to read data from the socket. In other words, to
// receive data from server
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));

//sending message to the server


out.println(userInput);

//receiving message from the server and printing it


serverMessage = in.readLine();
System.out.println("echo:” + serverMessage);
Introduction to Sockets
Exchanging Data Between Client & Server
 Receiving messages from client on server and
sending replies to the client
// Create a print writer to writing to the socket. In other words, to send data to
// client
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);

// Create an input stream to read data from the socket. In other words, to
// receive data from client
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));

//reading from the client


inputLine = in.readLine();

//sending message to a client


outputLine = "Reply From Server :HelloClient ";
out.println(outputLine);
Introduction to Sockets
Closing Sockets
 On Client Side:
// Closing the input stream
in.close();

// Closing the print writer


out.close();

// Closing the Socket


socket.close();

 On Client Side:
// Closing the input stream
in.close();

// Closing the print writer


out.close();

// Closing the Server Socket


serverSocket.close();

//Closing the client socket


clientSocket.close();
Introduction to Sockets
A Complete Client and Server Pair
 Download HelloServer.java and HelloClient.java from
http://www.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/wasiq/ics432.
Investigate their code, compile them and run them.
Analyze the traffic being exchanged between them using
Ethereal.
Introduction to Sockets
A Persistent Server (A multi-threaded Server)
 Usually servers are multithreaded
 The main thread keeps listening for the incoming requests.

 When a news request comes, it spawns a separate thread to


attend that request. This way, the main thread is always free
to receive new requests.
boolean listening=true;
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4444);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Could not listen on port: 4444");
System.exit(-1);
}

while (listening) {
new EchoServerThread(serverSocket.accept()).start();
}

A Persistent Server (A multi-threaded Server)
 Download EchoClient.java, EchoServer.java and
EchoServerThread.java from
http://www.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/wasiq/ics432.
Investigate their code, compile them and run them.
Analyze the traffic being exchanged between them using
Ethereal.
Introduction to Sockets
A Simple SMTP Client
 You can use the following four basic SMTP commands to
write a simple SMTP client:
 HELO smtp
 MAIL FROM: <emailid@domainname>
 RCPT TO: <emailid@domainname>
 DATA
 Following the data command, you type your e-mail text
 End your e-mail content by issuing <CRLF>.<CRLF> command
 In programs, you can replace CRLF by \n
 QUIT

 Try the above commands using telnet:


 telnet soldier.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa 25
 HELO SMTP
 MAIL FROM: wasiq@ccse.kfupm.edu.sa
 ….
 …

A Simple SMTP Client
 Download SMTPClient.java from
http://www.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/wasiq/ics432.
Investigate its code, compile it and run it. Analyze the
traffic using Ethereal.
Introduction to Sockets
A Simple POP Client
 Write a simple pop client to connect to the ITC POP Server
“pop.kfupm.edu.sa” on port 110.
 Following are the POP commands you will send to the server:
 USER <username>
 PASS <password>
 LIST
 RETR list-number
 QUIT

 First try connecting to pop.kfupm.edu.sa using telnet:


 telnet pop.kfupm.edu.sa 110
 USER wasiq
 PASS *****
 LIST
 ……
 …..
