Chat Server Socket

Following two socket programs demonstrate basic Chat application. You need to add additional functionalities and exception handling according to your needs.

Chat Server Socket Program

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

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

        ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(1234);
        Socket cs = null;
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
        System.out.println("Waiting for connection.....");
        cs = ss.accept();      
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(cs.getInputStream()));
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(cs.getOutputStream(), true);
        String inputLine, serverInput;
        while(true){
            inputLine = in.readLine();
            System.out.println("Client: " + inputLine);
            System.out.print("Server:");
            serverInput = br.readLine();
            out.println(serverInput);
        }
        out.close();
        in.close();
        cs.close();
        ss.close();
    }
}
//You may add exit condition in while loop of server socket.

Output on server screen:

Waiting for connection.....
Client: hello
Server:hello client
Client: how are you?
Server:I am fine...what about you?


Chat Client Socket Program

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

public class ChatClient {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
   {
         Socket s1 = new Socket("localhost", 1234);
         DataInputStream is = new DataInputStream(s1.getInputStream());
        // String request = "Hello";
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
         PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(s1.getOutputStream(),true);
         System.out.print("Client:");
         String request = br.readLine();
         while(!(request.contentEquals("bye"))){
            out.println(request);
            String reply = is.readLine();
            System.out.println("Server:" + reply);
            System.out.print("Client:");
            request = br.readLine();
         }
         out.close();                   
         is.close();
         s1.close();
   }
}

Output on Client Screen:

Client:hello
Server:hello client
Client:how are you?
Server:I am fine...what about you?
Client:bye
