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

[wpearsall]

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

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

	//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" ....

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]

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...:

	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:

Hope this helps

[wpearsall]

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

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

because i used the following 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:

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!

[wpearsall]

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
