TCP Server/Client

[Mnelson]

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to keep my server open. Every time I run the program everything connects fine. But as soon as I send the first message it closes the connection.

Here is my client server code.

import java.io.*;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;

public class Server {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		String FromClient; Integer Serveron = 1, number[], sum;
		while (Serveron ==1) 
		{
		ServerSocket      welcomeSocket     =         new ServerSocket(56120);
                System.out.println ("Server is LISTENING" + '\n');
		Socket connectionSocket  = welcomeSocket.accept();
		BufferedReader inFromClient  = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connectionSocket.getInputStream()));
        System.out.println ("Server Made Connection" + '\n');
		DataOutputStream  outToClient   =   new DataOutputStream(connectionSocket.getOutputStream())
       FromClient   =   inFromClient.readLine();
        System.out.println   ("RECEIVED from Client: " + FromClient + '\n');
        outToClient.writeBytes(FromClient);
	    }  
		
		
	}
}

public class Client {

	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
		String Userinput, Calculatedsum; int Clienton = 1;
		String hostname=args[0];

while (Clienton ==1) 
{
	BufferedReader    inFromUser    = new   BufferedReader  ( new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	Socket            clientSocket  = new   Socket          (hostname, 56120);
	DataOutputStream  outToServer   = new   DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
	BufferedReader    inFromServer  = new   BufferedReader  (new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
    System.out.println("Connection accepted " +
    		clientSocket.getInetAddress() + ":" +
    		clientSocket.getPort());
	System.out.print   ("Please Enter a series of numbers to add. Seperate them by spaces" + '\n');
    Userinput     = inFromUser.readLine();
    outToServer.writeBytes (Userinput + '\n');
    Calculatedsum  = inFromServer.readLine();
    System.out.print ("Server's Response: " + Calculatedsum + '\n');
   
	}

}
}

Any ideas on how I can keep it open to send ,receive, modify and send back the data?

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to keep my server open

You should use while(true) loop.

"The basic flow of logic in such a server is this:

while (true) {
   // accept a connection;
   // create a thread to deal with the client;
}
