Server Side Application

     

Server side application is used to get the message from any client and broadcast to each and every client. And this application is also used to maintain the list of users and broadcast this list to everyone.

The Server side application follows these steps

  • Firstly creates a new server socket by the ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(1004);
     
  • After creating the ServerSocket it accepts the client socket and add this socket into arraylist.
      Socket s = ss.accept();
      ArrayList al2 = new ArrayList();
      Al2.add(s);

      
  • After getting the client socket it creates a thread and make DataInputStream for this socket. After creating the input stream its read the user name and add it to arraylist and this arraylist object write in ObjectOutputStream of each client by using iterator. 
      DataInputStream din1=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream)
      ArrayList alname=new ArrayList();
      alname.add(din1.readUTF());
      
      Iterator i1=al2.iterator();
      Socket st1; 
      while(i1.hasNext()){
      st1=(Socket)i1.next();
      dout1=new DataOutputStream(st1.getOutputStream());
      ObjectOutputStream obj=new ObjectOutputStream(dout1);
      obj.writeObject(alname);
      }

      
  • After this it makes a new thread and makes one DataInputStream for reading the messages which sends by the client and after reading the message its creates the DataOutputStream for each socket and writes this message in each client output stream through iterator.
      String str=din.readUTF();
      Iterator i=al.iterator();
      Socket st;
      while(i.hasNext()){
      st=(Socket)i.next();
      dout=new DataOutputStream(st.getOutputStream());
      dout.writeUTF(str);
      dout.flush();
      }

     
  • If any client Logged out then server received the client name and server remove it from the arraylist. And sends this updated arraylist to all client.
          sname=ddin.readUTF();
          alname.remove(sname);

Here is the code of the Server side application :
