concurrent access to a Socket()

[flok]

Hi,

Can one do a read on a socket while an other thread does a write in the same time on the same socket?

Yes you can. Though i would be careful not to write with two threads at the same time if you message is split up into multiple parts. I put a lock on the write stream before i use it.

synchronized(output) //lock the object
{
   //write to the output stream
}
