illegal start of type?{resolved}

Any ideas why the compiler keeps pissing about an illegal start of type at while(true){? I compile this class under the command line system compiler and using Eclipse and i keep getting the same results. :mad:

Code:

---

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

class Server{
 private ServerSocket ser; 
 private Socket soc;
 private OutputStreamWriter out;
 private int port;
 
 public Server(int port){
    this.port = port;
  try{
    ser = new ServerSocket(port);
  }catch(IOException e){
    System.out.println("Port" + ser.getLocalPort() + "is occupied");
  }
 }

while(true){
 try{
  soc = ser.accept();
  out = new OutputStreamWriter(soc.getOutputStream());
  out.write("port open \r\n");
  soc.close();
  }catch(IOException e){
    /*
    transitory exception\client broke the connection early
  */
  }
  }
 }

Presentable case of formatting error :)

Code:

---

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

class Server{
 private ServerSocket ser; 
 private Socket soc;
 private OutputStreamWriter out;
 private int port;
 
 public Server(int port){
    this.port = port;
  try{
    ser = new ServerSocket(port);
  }catch(IOException e){
    System.out.println("Port" + ser.getLocalPort() + "is occupied");
  }
 }

while(true){
 try{
  soc = ser.accept();
  out = new OutputStreamWriter(soc.getOutputStream());
  out.write("port open \r\n");
  soc.close();
  }catch(IOException e){
    /*
    transitory exception\client broke the connection early
  */
  }
  }
 }

So what is the problem? :lol: All the brackets seem to be in the correct location. :confused:

Get glasses and look closely! The while loop is outside the function!

eeek. :D I must be going crazy. Thanks. :)
