Thread: Java Client

My server works perfectly fine, I understand the basic function of it and using telnet with it works perfectly. My problem is with the client, I can't figure out how to make it receive messages. Here's my client code, I can post the server code if need be.

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

			{	
				toServer.print("CREATEACC ninja test");
				toServer.flush();
				//System.err.println("PRESSED");
			}
		};
		Container content = frame.getContentPane();
		content.setLayout(null);
		content.add(panel);
