    Default TCP JAva Server - Username, Password

    Hi, i would like to add 2 methods. Username and password. Client enter the username into the command line and server saves it. Then client enter the password. The password should be sum of ASCII values from the username. Finally the server should make a control and if the password equals the ASCII sum, it should by everything OK and server can do some other stuff.

    Do you have any idea how i can add these two methods ? Thank you !

    public class Server extends Thread {
     
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        int indicator = 0;
        Socket socket;
        String name = "";
        String password = "";
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            try {
                ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(3618);
                while (true) {
                    Socket s = ss.accept();
                    Server srv = new Server();
                    srv.socket = s;
                    srv.start();
                }
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(Server.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
        }
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                String str = "";
                int chars;
                int ch = 0;
                PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
                BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
     
                while ((chars = in.read()) != -1) {
                    sb.append((char) chars);
                    str = sb.toString();
                }
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(Server.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            }
        }
     
        void sendMessage(String message, PrintWriter pw) {
            pw.write(message);
            pw.flush();
        }

    Default Re: TCP JAva Server - Username, Password

    Does the client code execute in the command prompt without GUI?
    To get data from a user, print a prompting message and use one of the Scanner class's method to read in the user's response.

    The server-client interactions about the username and password is a lot more involved than the small piece of code that has been posted.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    how to get username and password from command line
    See the Scanner class for methods to read input data from a user.

    If you are asking about what is passed to the main() method on the commandline when the class is executed, the contents of the command line are passed to main() in a String array.

    I think Scanner(System.in) doesnt solve my problem. I am connected via command line in windows and i am sending commands.

    If the program is executing in a command prompt window, System.in should be where the user's input is read.

    Can you explain how you are executing the program? What are the steps you take to execute it?
