Receiving and Sending a Request to UDP Server in Java

Receiving and sending a request to UDP server in Java

Here, you will know how to receive and send messages by UDP server. First of all, UDP server receives messages and sends some information to UDP client. The brief descriptions are available bellow:

Description of program:

This program provides you a layout. Which contains two command buttons 'Start' and 'Stop' with a text area. Messages are received by the UDP server in a text area at the time of server is started. If server is start then shows a message "Server is started" in the text area and if stopped then shows a message like: "Server is stopped" and no any information or messages are received by server. Any information are collected by UDP server then it sends a message to UDP client.

Here is the code of program:
