Really big problem in client and server program

[helioshilary]

Friends here is my client program in java using sockets

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class Client
{
int count=0;
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
int count=0;
Socket s=new Socket("LocalHost",2000);
DataOutputStream dos=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
String str=new String();
while(true)
{
try
{
Thread.sleep(1000);
count++;
str=""+count+"";
dos.writeBytes("str");
System.out.println(str);
}
catch(Exception e)
{}
}
}
}

Here client sends seconds to server by using thread and incrementing a variable for every 1 second.

And server program is

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class Server
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(2000);
Socket s=ss.accept();
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
String str=dis.readLine();
System.out.println("While");
while(true)
{
System.out.println(str);
str=dis.readLine();
}
}
}

THERE IS NO ERRORS IN ABOVE CODE

Now the big problem is server is waiting for message from client , but client is posting the values to the server program.
When i execute the program by executing server first next to client(which is to be) client is sending data (which i can see the values the client is printing in cmd) but server program just stays in the line "String str=dis.readLine();" and just waiting for input...
So please help me in getting this code..
Thanks.....

It amazes me that people can figure out how to post multiple unnecessary animated icons which do nothing to help explain the problem, but they can't figure out how to post code so that is retains its formatting and is actually readable.

@OP: Use code tags
[code]
YOUR CODE HERE
[/code]

And ask specific questions. If you have errors, post them as well(in code tags).

server is not getting data from server

This is confusing. How is the server getting data from the server?

Please copy and paste the output from your program that traces what it is doing.
Add comments to the output that describes what is wrong and what you want it to do differently.

in the image


the main problem is the server command prompt must also get the values as it is in client command prompt,,,,,but server program is not getting any value and it is not displaying any..

[Norm]

Your write methods do not match your input methods.
The you are writing bytes and trying to read a String with a lineend.
Change the methods so they match.

[helioshilary]

in which code is that in server or client one?

[Norm]

There is code in both the server and in the client.

[helioshilary]

Then what method i have to use in client code and what method i have to read in server code..

[helioshilary]

the same methods even worked for me when i try to send some string from client to server by reading from user...........

[Norm]

the same methods even worked for me

how is the code different when it worked than in the code you posted here?

[kjkrum]

You probably need to flush() your output stream.

[helioshilary]

The code is simple

Server code

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class Server
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
System.out.println("Waiting for client message.....");
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(2000);
Socket s=ss.accept();
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
String str=dis.readLine();
while(!(str.equals("123")))
{
System.out.println("Client :"+str);
str=dis.readLine();
}
}
}

Client code

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class Client
{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception
{
Socket s=new Socket("LocalHost",2000);
DataOutputStream dos=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter msg:");
String str=dis.readLine();
while(true)
{
if(str.equals("123"))
{
dos.writeBytes(str);
System.exit(0);
}
else
dos.writeBytes(str+"\n");
System.out.println("Enter msg:");
str=dis.readLine();
}
//s.close();
}
}

This code is working all i need to be executed the previous code using threads,,,please help me.....

[Norm]

Do you really write your code with no indentations for nesting/scope levels?
It makes it very hard to read if the nested code is not indented. Especially to find matching { and }

Following from the Client code in your post #13
dos.writeBytes(str+"\n"); // Notice the \n here
See the second line in post #6

okk i got it thanks...
thanks a lot
