[RESOLVED] reading incoming text on a socket....

OK... I have got a socket i need to read text on...

the bufferedreader is calling "in", and socket "wskSocket".

Code:

---


        //Take steps to conect to the server
        synchronized boolean connectToServer()
        {       
       
                if( connected == true ) {
                        disconnectFromServer();                       
                }
       
                connected=false;
                try
                {
                        InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName( serverAddress );
                        wskSocket = new Socket( addr,serverSocketNumber );
                }
                catch( UnknownHostException e )
                {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(window,"Error: "+sAppTitle+
                                                                                " failed to find server host!",
                                                                                "Host Lookup Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
                        return false;
                }
                catch( IOException e )
                {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(window,"Error: "+sAppTitle+
                                                                                  " failed to connect to the server!","Socket Error",JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
                        return false;
                }

                try
                {
                        in  = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(wskSocket.getInputStream()));
                out = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(wskSocket.getOutputStream()));
               
                }
                catch( IOException e )
                {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(window,"Error: "+sAppTitle+
                                                                                  " cannot create data stream!\n\n"+
                                                                                  "Closing client...","Data Stream Error",
                                                                                  JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );
                        try
                        {
                                wskSocket.close();
                        }
                        catch( IOException io_e )
                        {
                               
                        }
                       
                        return false;
                }
               
                connected = true;
               
                thListen = new ListenToIncoming();
                thListen.start();
               
                System.out.println("OK: Returning True....");
               
                return true;

        }
       



        private class ListenToIncoming extends Thread{
                public void run(){
                       
                        System.out.println("ITS RUNNING!!!!");
                       
                       
                        System.out.println("Sending Login Info...");
                       
                        String sMsgToSend;
                        sMsgToSend=" ## +DL : "+ UserName+" : "+
                                                Password+" : "+sAppVer;
                        SendData( sMsgToSend );
                       
                        try{
                               
                                String sIn;
                        while ((sIn = in.readLine()) != null) {                               
                                        System.out.println( sIn );
                                        CheckIncoming( sIn );
                                }
                               
                                System.out.println( "OK... WE JUST SKIPPED THE ENTIRE DATA PROCESSING!!!!" );
               
                        }catch( IOException e ){
                                System.out.println( "We Got An Error...." );
                        }
                }
        }

for some reason, IT DOES NOT READ INCOMING TEXT!!!!

it creates the new thread, and starts it running properly, but it wont read it...

i have got this output on my "System" ....

Quote:

---

OK: Returning True....
ITS RUNNING!!!!
Sending Login Info...

---

even tho text arrives at the server ok..

[i know this because its all comin ok on ma server log]

Quote:

---

10/02/2004 00:59:46: Connection requested from 127.0.0.1:2021;
10/02/2004 00:59:46: Checking Login [Client Version: x.xx] (Connection: 96);
10/02/2004 00:59:47: -> Login = False [Invalid Password For: wpearsall] (Connection: 96);

it doesnt recieve the reply from the server [well, doesnt "read" it anyhow...]

Does anyone know wot can b the problem w/ the above code?

I have even tried sending data from the server directly... but not got read either

: shrugs :

All help is VERY appreciated...

thanks.

oops.. fort u mite also b interested in how im sendin the data to server etc...:

Code:

---

        void SendData( String sData ) {
                try{
                        out.write( sData ); // Put the data in the queue to send
                        //out.newLine();
                        out.flush();                // Send the queue'd data
                }catch(Exception m){
                        // Catch error
                }

        }

as i said though, this is working...

It may be because you're not actually getting the text from the stream.

You need a new BufferedReader object to listen to the "in" object.

This link should show you what to do:

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ngWriting.html

Hope this helps :)

could it be the way that i am sending my data from my server?

VB Code:

Winsock_Control.SendData(" ## CMD : 1 : 2 : 3 ")

because i used the following code:

Code:

---

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

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

        Socket echoSocket = null;
        PrintWriter out = null;
        BufferedReader in = null;

        try {
            echoSocket = new Socket("localhost", 5065);
            out = new PrintWriter(echoSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
            in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                                        echoSocket.getInputStream()));
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            System.err.println("Don't know about host");
            System.exit(1);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "
                              + "the connection");
            System.exit(1);
        }

                BufferedReader stdIn = new BufferedReader(
                                  new InputStreamReader(System.in));
                String userInput;

                while ((userInput = stdIn.readLine()) != null) {
                    out.println(userInput);
                    System.out.println("echo: " + in.readLine());
                }

                out.close();
                in.close();
                stdIn.close();
                echoSocket.close();
               
                System.out.println("Closed");
    }
}

---

and it doesnt go past / run this code:

Code:

---

System.out.println("echo: " + in.readLine());

---

however, when connecting to the Port 7 server, it works brilliant.... [i know data is being sent tho, since my vb client is working perfectly........]

any help is appriciated!

OK... I've got it fixed...

i needed to edit my server code to add "vbcrlf" to the end of every outgoing message.

sorted it now tho :) i jst gotta edit my main chat not to allow new lines in the text otherwise it screws ma java client.. meeh, not much of a biggy.. -> main biggy for me now is to make a new applet -> damn java apps dont seam to be able to be loaded from a web page :(

oh well, nm eh LOL.

tnx tho guys
