Socket Programming | Chat Server (Java)

Problem Definition: Write a program in Java to implement Socket Programming.

P.S. Here, both the programs viz., Server & Client needs to be executed simultaneously on different Java Windows (2 Terminals).
It’s the one-to-one message provision, where after each message from the Client Server has to respond and vice verse.

/*Server Program*/

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class server
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
//Create Server Socket
ServerSocket server=new ServerSocket(1794);
//Connection with client
Socket client=server.accept();
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
//Object of Scanner to read from Server(Receive Data)
Scanner in=new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
//Object of PrintWriter to write on to the Server(Send Data)
PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(),true);//true means autoflush enabled no need to flush everytime(While Sending Data)
String s=””;
System.out.println(“Client Connected”+”\n”);
do
{
//Receive Data
s=in.nextLine();
System.out.println(“Client:”+s);
System.out.print(“Server:”);
//accept input from user
s=sc.nextLine();
//send data
out.println(s);
}while(!s.equalsIgnoreCase(“bye”));
server.close();//close the socket
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
}

/*Client Program*/

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class client
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
try
{
//Connection with Server
Socket server=new Socket(“localhost”,1794);
Scanner sc=new Scanner(System.in);
//Object of Scanner to read from Server(Receive Data)
Scanner in=new Scanner(server.getInputStream());
//Object of PrintWriter to write on to the Server(Send Data)
PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(server.getOutputStream(),true);//true means autoflush enabled no need to flush everytime(While Sending Data)
String s=””;
System.out.println(“Connected with Server”+”\n”);
do
{
System.out.print(“Client:”);
//accept input from user
s=sc.nextLine();
//send data
out.println(s);
//Receive Data
s=in.nextLine();
System.out.println(“Server:”+s);
}while(!s.equalsIgnoreCase(“bye”));
server.close();//close the socket
}
catch(Exception e)
{
}
}
}

/*Server Output

Client Connected

Client:hello
Server:hie
Client:name?
Server:darshan
Client:bye
Server:bye
*/

/*Client Output

Connected with Server

Client:hello
Server:hie
Client:name?
Server:darshan
Client:bye
Server:bye
*/
