New to Java Sockets

[Lord Josh 1]

Hey everyone,

I'm want to setup a simple reader that outputs the information on a server when requested. For example, when I telnet to this server it automatically print's out, "Hello world!". Although when I made a simple Java socket connector, it doesn't print anything. What I want to achieve, in the long term, is being able to read and write to this server.

Here is the code that I'm using:

public void connect() throws IOException{
		String host = "172.16.0.118";
		int port = 6112;
		
		Socket socket = new Socket(host, port);
		BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream( )));
		BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream( )));
		while(true){
			System.out.println(reader);
		}
	}

How would I get it to output whatever comes from the server, then write something else to the server? :)

I've also started to deal with sockets in the past week. There's plenty of tutorials/examples online. Try this one.
