    Default Socket closed Exception being thrown.. please help

    I have been working with socket programming. I was trying to develop a two way communication from server to client. The data is being received when sent from server to client but there is a problem when I am sending from client to server.

    I am getting an error as "Socket is closed" pointing to the line where I have created a BufferedReader. I have simplified some part of my code to be very specific.

    Kindly find the code attached.


    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import java.util.*;
     
    public class Server
    {
     
       public static void main(String args[])
       {
         String id="policeone";
         int hashcodeid=0;
         try
            {
               ServerSocket srvr=new ServerSocket(1234);
               Socket client=srvr.accept();
               System.out.println("Connected to a client");
     
               PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(),true);
     
             // code to perfrom operations..
             out.print(id+" ");
             out.print(hashcodeid+" ");
             //out.print(x);
             out.print(message1+" ");
     
     
             //sending data to client working... no problem.
     
     
     
     
    // reading data form client... throwing exception.. "Socket is closed"   
     
     BufferedReader fromserver=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
                while(!fromserver.ready()){}
     
    String nowstring=fromserver.readLine();
    System.out.println("Received from client    "+nowstring);
     
     
             }
     
    catch(Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
        }
    }

    import java.io.*;

             Socket skt = new Socket("localhost", 1234);
             BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new
             InputStreamReader(skt.getInputStream()));
     
     
     
             System.out.print("Received string: '");
     
           while (!in.ready()) {}
     
           //code to read and manipulate data from server
     
     
       BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

    I do not see anywhere in the client code where "hello" is being sent. Did you post the correct code for the client?

    Please don't post images. Copy the contents of the console for the server and paste that.

    Can you add some comments saying what is wrong with it?

    Sorry for posting the wrong code..

    Here is the current version with the problem. The Socket Exception is not being thrown here, but the communication is not happening.

    The code in post #5 worked some. what is different from post#11?

    --- Update ---

    A suggestion for testing:
    Get rid of all this,
    Sending id string: 'policeone'
    Sending hashcode of id : '-226259832'
    Sending random number: '178'
    Sending message1: '-226259910'


    Token number 01:policeone

    Token number 11:-226259832

    Token number 21:-226259910
    do a simple test of sending small strings only until that works.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    l i am having the problem.
    Which problem?
    Please copy the full text of the messages that show the problem and paste them here.

    What do you expect the code to do? List the steps in time sequence of what should happen in the two classes.
    The server does this
    the client does that
    etc
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    C:\Users\ADITYA\Desktop\example>java Server1
    Server has connected!
    Sending string: 'Toobie ornaught toobie'
    Whoops! It didn't work!


    C:\Users\ADITYA\Desktop\example>javac Client1.java

    C:\Users\ADITYA\Desktop\example>java Client1
    Received string: 'Toobie ornaught toobie
    '
    Sending string: 'hello'


    The client is sending hello to server, but it is not geting received on the server side.. the exception is being thrown there.. as "Socket is closed"

    Default Re: Socket closed Exception being thrown.. please help

    the exception is being thrown there.. as "Socket is closed"
    You left that off of the output that you posted. You need to post ALL of the contents of the console from when you test the code.

    Whoops! It didn't work!
    That needs to be the output from the printStackTrace() method



    What do you expect the code to do?
    Make a List of the steps in time sequence of what should happen in the two classes. Something list this:
    The server does this
    the client does that
    etc
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Default Re: Socket closed Exception being thrown.. please help

    please sir,
    i want the server receives the hello msg...

    The output clearly shows client sending hello msg to server,but server is not taking the hello msg and throws exception....
    I know "whoops It didnt work " is the output of printstacktrace().......

    1)the server sends
    toobie or naught toobie

    the client receives
    toobie or naught toobie

    2)the client sends
    hello

    the server receives
    whoops it didnt work

    --- Update ---

    i have replace "whoops it didnt work" with printStackTrace().... it shows the below error

    Server has connected!
    Sending string: 'Toobie ornaught toobie'
    java.net.SocketException: Socket is closed
    at java.net.Socket.getInputStream(Socket.java:872)
    at Server1.main(Server1.java:17)

    The list of steps leaves out the creation of the sockets. The server can't send anything until after it creates a server socket and the client connects to that socket.

    Look at the API doc for the readLine() method. It says that it reads a "line" and defines a "line" as: A line is considered to be terminated by any one of a line feed ('\n'), a carriage return ('\r'), or a carriage return followed immediately by a linefeed.
