Help Plz

I am trying to write a Server Client code,
I did mange to connect both the server and client and exchange data.

now in my server I created an ArrayList with three values, the client ask for a studentId, this ID is send to the server the serve looks the array liste if the ID found in array list, the server send the student Grade to the client,
I did create the array list , but i dont know how to search in array list for Student Id, as I have three fileds, and then how to send this grade to the client,

thanks for help in advance

here is my server code.

Code:

---

package distributedsystem;

/**

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

class Server
{
        public static void main(String args[])
        {

[COLOR="red"]      //Creating an ArrayList of Students
      ArrayList<Students> students = new ArrayList<Students>();

      students.add(new Students("David John", "w54321", "Grade A"));
      students.add(new Students("Jack Great", "w12345", "Grade C"));[/COLOR]

                try  {

    ServerSocket sock = new ServerSocket(8187);  //Start server listening at port:8189

    String draw = null;
    String Aresult = null;
    String StudentID;

    while(true){                //Infinite loop starts here... Server never exits.
    Socket newsock = sock.accept();        //Listen for client... virtually execution gets locked here until some client calls the server.

    DataInputStream inp = new DataInputStream(newsock.getInputStream());        //Stream to recieve clients data.
    PrintStream outp = new PrintStream(newsock.getOutputStream());        //Stream to write data to client.


                //Get client's move first. Read from client's stream.
                StudentID = inp.readLine();
                //Write to client's stream.
                outp.println(StudentID);
               
                    [COLOR="Red"] for (Students e : students)
                      {
                      if(StudentID.equalsIgnoreCase())
                      {
                          System.out.println("")
                      }
                        }[/COLOR]                     
                      System.out.println(StudentID);
                 
                        }

        } catch(Exception e){
                        System.out.println("I/O error");
                }
       
        }
}

Surely the Students class (shouldn't that be Student?) has a method called getID() or getStudentID() or something similar. Why not call this on the Student object inside the for loop, "e", and use this to compare to the String entered by the user.

this is my Sudents Class

Code:

public class Students {

  public Students(String n, String idee, String gr)

  {
      name = n;
      id = idee;
      grade = gr;
  }

  public String getName()
  {
      return name;
  }

  public String getId()
  {
      return id;
  }

  public String getGrade()
  {
      return grade;
  }

  private String name;
  private String id;
  private String grade;
}

I do have a methode called getID, can you be little bit more clear please or some code exmple?

thanks

I write this way the code :

for (Students e : students)
{
if(StudentID.equalsIgnoreCase(e.getId()))
{
System.out.println(e);
}
}

but the server then shows this message for shoing "e"

distributedsystem.Students@190d11

thanks god it :) now have to procced further :) to complete my project.

I manage the to search in Arraylist and then show the result in both server side and client side, but I am facing problem in how to show Student Grade in condation, i mean if the client request for an invalid Student ID, the server should send the client back a message that its invalid Student ID, here is my code,
any suggestino please?

Server Code

Code:

---

StudentID = inp.readLine();
                //Write to client's stream.
                //outp.println(StudentID);
                System.out.println(StudentID);
               
                      for (Students e : students)
                      {
                      if(e.getId().equalsIgnoreCase(StudentID))
                      {
                          System.out.println(e.getGrade());
                          outp.println(e.getGrade());break;
                      }else {
                          String invalidID=("invalid Student ID");
                          outp.println(invalidID);
                      }
                        }

                        }

Client Code

Code:

---

                    String Studentgrade = inp.readLine();
                    System.out.println("Grade for StudentID " + StudentID +" is : "+Studentgrade);

                    String Studentgrade1 = inp.readLine();
                    System.out.println(Studentgrade1);
