Server socket won't wait

[Daslee]

Hello. Im trying to make application which have server and to the server can connect many clients. So I just started doing it and I have problem. When I run my server it waits until client connects to server, so if I run client and server got connection, then they send each other a message and disconnecting both. Client can disconnect, I do not care about it now. Now I want to fix server. And I think that I must to tell server that he waits for my command to disconnect because now he disconnects without my command. Here is my server code:

			ServerSocket myServerSocket = new ServerSocket(9999);

			System.out.println("Server is waiting for an incoming connection on host=" 
					+ InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName() 
					+ " port=" + myServerSocket.getLocalPort());
			Socket skt = myServerSocket.accept();
				
			BufferedReader myInput = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(skt.getInputStream()));
			PrintStream myOutput = new PrintStream(skt.getOutputStream());	
			
			String buf = myInput.readLine();
			
			if (buf != null) {
				System.out.println("Server read: [" + buf + "]");
				myOutput.print("got it");
			}
			//SERVER GOT MESSAGE FROM CLIENT

			//AND CLOSE THE CONNECTION			
			skt.close();
			System.out.println("Server is exiting!");

Maybe I must to make it somehow that it disconnects on application close? Or do you have any other suggestions?

Use a loop in the server to keep it from exiting until you give it a command to exit the loop.
