I am trying to make a single mutlithreaded Server , that many clients can connect. Every client takes his iD and a number of steps and tries to calculate Pi =3,14 with accuracy, after that every client sends its result back to Server and the Server Calculates the Final result finnaly prints Pi.
(Every Client works at the same time).
(We know from start how many Clients will connect)
So far I created the main Server , the ServerThread , and a ServerProtocol where every action is written there. A loop helps that many clients can connect. I gave as a string the specific number of client and the numSteps it has to calculate pi.
On the client side, I made the main Client and the ClientProtocol with the actions. So , the client take the string, make it integer and start calculating pi. At the end sends the result as a string and the Server makes it Integer and put it on an Array to calculate and print 3.14 .
So i am somewhere lost and can't find where , so any help will be aprecciated.

I am taking a free online course for cybersecurity here https://cybersecuritybase.github.io/
Par of the course they want you to create a java port scanner they provide some of the code and you add the port scanner portion and i am having issues with it. Java is not a language i am really familiar with so i feel it's something simple but can't seem to figure it out.
code is here
package sec.portscanner;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.InetSocketAddress;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.Set;
import java.util.TreeSet;
import java.io.IOException;
public class PortScanner {
final static int MIN_PORT = 1024;
final static int MAX_PORT = 49151;
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Scanner reader = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Which address should I scan?");
String address = reader.nextLine();
System.out.println("Start at port?");
int start = Integer.parseInt(reader.nextLine());
System.out.println("End at port?");
int end = Integer.parseInt(reader.nextLine());
Set<Integer> ports = getAccessiblePorts(address, start, end);
System.out.println("");
if (ports.isEmpty()) {
System.out.println("None found :(");
} else {
System.out.println("Found:");
ports.stream().forEach(p -> System.out.println("\t" + p));
}
}
public static Set<Integer> getAccessiblePorts(String address, int start, int end) {
Set<Integer> accessiblePorts = new TreeSet<>();
start = Math.max(start, MIN_PORT);
end = Math.min(end, MAX_PORT);
for (int port = start; port <= end; port++)
{
try {
Socket socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(address, port), 50000);
socket.close();
} catch(IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
return accessiblePorts;
}
}
The portion I created is the for loop with the socket scan. It always prints out none found no matter what address i provide and i am not sure how to fix this. any pointers would be great I have searched and from what i see nothing is stand out wrong( at least i hope)
you are not adding to the accessiblePorts Set
try
Socket socket = new Socket();
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(address, port), 50000);
socket.close();
accessiblePorts.add (port);
I'm trying to connect all my clients to one server. I've done some research and found out that the easiest way to do it is create a new thread for every client that connects to the server. But I am already stuck on the part where a client disconnects and reconnect.
Client
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test {
private static int port = 40021;
private static String ip = "localhost";
public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException,
IOException {
String command, temp;
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
Socket s = new Socket(ip, port);
while (true) {
Scanner scanneri = new Scanner(s.getInputStream());
System.out.println("Enter any command");
command = scanner.nextLine();
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(s.getOutputStream());
p.println(command);
temp = scanneri.nextLine();
System.out.println(temp);
}
}
}
Server
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintStream;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MainClass {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
String command, temp;
ServerSocket s1 = new ServerSocket(40021);
while (true) {
Socket ss = s1.accept();
Scanner sc = new Scanner(ss.getInputStream());
while (sc.hasNextLine()) {
command = sc.nextLine();
temp = command + " this is what you said.";
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(ss.getOutputStream());
p.println(temp);
}
}
}
}
When I connect once it works correctly but as soon as I disconnect the client and try to reconnect (or connect a second client) it does not give an error or anything it just does not function. I am trying to keep it as basic as possible.
The output with one client:
When I try and connect a second client:
I hope someone could help me out. Thanks in advance.
Your server currently handles only 1 client at a time, use threads for each client, Modify your server code like this:-
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
ServerSocket s1 = new ServerSocket(40021);
while (true)
{
ss = s1.accept();
Thread t = new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
String command, temp;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(ss.getInputStream());
while (sc.hasNextLine())
{
command = sc.nextLine();
temp = command + " this is what you said.";
PrintStream p = new PrintStream(ss.getOutputStream());
p.println(temp);
}
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
t.start();
}
}
So we're fooling around with ServerSockets in class, making a very simple HTTP server that takes a request, does nothing with it, and responds with a 200 OK followed by some HTML content.
I've been trying to figure out this problem for two days, and I haven't been able to get to grips with it, and neither has my teacher. I've come to think it is a problem with closing the server, for some odd reason. I've fixed the problem, but would just like to know why I happened in the first place.
Here are three snippets:
HttpServer.class:
package httpserver;
import java.io.Closeable;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class HttpServer implements Closeable {
public static final int PORT = 80;
public static final int BACKLOG = 1;
public static final String ROOT_CATALOG = "C:/HttpServer/";
private ServerSocket server;
private Socket client;
private Scanner in;
private PrintWriter out;
private String request;
public HttpServer() throws IOException {
server = new ServerSocket(PORT, BACKLOG);
}
public Socket accept() throws IOException {
client = server.accept();
in = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
out = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream());
return client;
}
public void recieve() {
request = in.nextLine();
System.out.println(request);
}
public void respond(final String message) {
out.print(message);
out.flush();
}
#Override
public void close() throws IOException {
if(!server.isClosed()) {
client = null;
server = null;
}
}
}
Main.class solution that works:
package httpserver;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
HttpServer server = new HttpServer();
Socket client;
while(true) {
client = server.accept();
server.recieve();
server.respond("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n"
+ "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
+ "\r\n"
+ "<html><body><b>hello..</b></body></html>");
client.close();
}
}
}
Main.class solution that doesn't work:
package httpserver;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try(HttpServer server = new HttpServer()) {
while (true) {
server.accept();
server.recieve();
server.respond("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\n"
+ "Content-Type: text/html\r\n"
+ "\r\n"
+ "<html><body><b>hello..</b></body></html>");
}
} catch(IOException ex) {
System.out.println("We have a problem: " + ex.getMessage());
}
}
}
I could imagine it has something to do with not closing the client socket after each loop iteration. But even so, it should at least go through once, before bugging up in that case. I really can't see what the problem is supposed to be.
No error messages, nothing...
You do not specify any Content-length when sending the HTTP, so the browser does not know when to stop reading for more data. See How to know when HTTP-server is done sending data for more info.
In the working example you closed the client socket, which tells the browser there is no more data - for your ambitions this might be enough if you don't want the browser to respond.

Reinstating this question with a bounty! I need an example that stays online, like a real instant messenger! It needs to always be ready to receive or send a message to an arbitrary address over an arbitrary port, using TCP. The program must not quit after sending/receiving a message.
Bounty goes to whoever can give the best example of a real, usable instant messenger.
Looking online, all resources I found are either useless tutorials, dead threads, dead tutorials, ancient examples, or tell the programmer to use external APIs. How can I create a basic instant messenger from the ground up, only using Java SE?
There must be a way to do this, and some sample code would be appreciated. It only needs to perform the simplest tasks: Check if a compatible client is online on another computer (IP will be provided by the user) and send a TCP packet to that client, which will receive and display its contents.
When this question was first asked and answered back in 2011, it was simply "Looking online, all resources I found are either useless
tutorials, dead threads, or tell the programmer to use external
APIs.". The provided links below met the criteria at the time. Further discussion follows in the comments.

Nowadays I'm not proud of the code, but it really works.
Edit:
As some have suggested, I've made some code improvements (refactoring) and post the project on GitHub: https://github.com/jaumzera/javasocketchat
Hm, I was tempted to direct you to a java implementation of a server implementing imap protocol (eg. gavamail). But this, of cources, might also qualify as "old" code and for sure would kill your expectation (for being a non-standard solution). Nevertheless it is a proper reference fulfilling your (terse) specification.
What do we have?
We need a solution that should be in java.
It must implement an basic instant messaging system.
The later is problematic as it covers a really broad range of functionality. But "basic" seem to allow for a minimum solution.
So what is a minimum instant messaging system? Let's try with the following:
a client that is posting and retrieving messages.
a server that is storing posted messages for (later) retrieval
We also would need a policy of how a client would identify a proper server. Most trivial solution for the later aspect is using a "central" server with a well-known address. For more complex cases we would need to have the server and/or client functionality distributed across several instances and devise a scheme or policy for identifying the proper instance(s) for communication.
We leave out more complex semantics like having different users or messages being related to a system of categories or tags.
Now, we are down to having two components:
A server implementing two entry points:
POST_MESSAGE
receive a mesage form a client and store it for later retrieval
This immediatley is asking the question of where to store such messages (in a database or filesystem for persistency or simply within memory for a "messages live as long as the server is up" semantics)
LOOKUP_MESSAGE
select a suitable message from the stored ones (preferrably an unread one) and return to caller.
This could also return a set of messages (but think of restricting such set for cases where a caller has a severe backlog of messages)
It might be necessary to keep track of the messages already having been read, either by marking the messages or by maintaining seen status at the client. This could even be as simple as keeping time or ordinal of last message seen and send this information along with the LOOKUP_MESSAGE request.
A client needs to interact with a user on one hand and the service on the other hand.
It will take gat a new message from the user (likely on explicit request (e.g. send button) and call the POST_MESSAGE service at the related server.
It also will (likely regularly, could also be on explicit request (e.g. user is starting client)) poll the server for new messages. (Alternatively, you could devise a separate notification service that is used by the server to notify the client of new messages. What suits your "needs" is beyond your question.)
That's it.
So any example of a TCP based client/server application will form a perfect starting point for a straight implementation.
I should also mention that you could cut the specification logic within the client and delegate user interaction to a standard browser and implement the client application logic into a (web-)server instance (together or separate from the server part). Nevertheless, you still will have both (client/server) logical functionality according to above minimum specification.
Another aspect you should be aware of:
With some comments you mentioned "host" and "guest" attributions available in current messenger examples. This actually is a logical structure of a tagging system provided with those messengers. The messages are still sent from a client to a server and then being retrieved by other clients. Whether a client can see a message is determined by the client being eligible to the specific tag. E.g posting a message to a contact from yours (user b) just tags the message with the tag "for_user_b" and as such it is only visible to the poster and anybody that is also allowed to read "for_user_b" tag messages (user b in our example). So, please be aware that the logical structure of a messaging system is determined by the access and distribution policy and not by the physical distribution structure!
I am not even sure if this question is still being used or what but I liked the task and I thought:
why not?
Here is my implementation, as simple as it gets but without forgetting fundamental parts.
Written in pure Java, makes use of, among the rest, Sockets, Threads and SynchronizedList:
SimpleChat.java (Main)
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
public class SimpleChat {
private static boolean isRunning = true;
private static Sender sender;
private static Receiver receiver;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
if(args.length < 3){
showUsage();
}
try {
receiver = new Receiver(Integer.parseInt(args[1]));
sender = new Sender(args[0], args[2], Integer.parseInt(args[3]));
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
showUsage();
}
// Read user input
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Chat started. Type '\\exit' to quit.");
while(isRunning) {
String input = br.readLine();
if(input.equals("\\exit")){
receiver.stop();
sender.stop();
isRunning = false;
} else {
sender.sendMessage(input);
}
}
}
static void showUsage(){
System.out.println("Usage: java SimpleChat.java listening_port target_IP target_port");
System.exit(1);
}
}
Receiver.java
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Receiver {
private boolean isRunning = true;
public Receiver(int listeningPort) throws IOException {

public void run() {
ServerSocket serverSocket;
try {

} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block

}
}
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
new Thread(receiverT).start();
}
public void stop(){
isRunning = false;
}
}
Sender.java
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Iterator;
import java.util.List;
public class Sender {
private boolean isRunning = true;
private volatile List<String> msgs;
public Sender(String username, String targetIP, int targetPort) throws InterruptedException, UnknownHostException, IOException {
msgs = Collections.synchronizedList(new ArrayList<String>());
Runnable senderT = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
try {
Socket socket = new Socket(targetIP, targetPort);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
while(isRunning) {
synchronized(msgs){
Iterator<String> it = msgs.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()){
out.println(username + ": " + it.next());
}
// Clear messages to send
msgs.clear();
}
}
out.close();
socket.close();
} catch (UnknownHostException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
};
new Thread(senderT).start();
}
public void stop(){
isRunning = false;
}
public void sendMessage(String msg){
synchronized(msgs){
msgs.add(msg);
}
}
}
As the 'showUsage()' says, use this program as follows:
java SimpleChat.java username listening_port target_ip target_port
Example:
java SimpleChat.java Supuhstar 1234 127.0.0.1 1234
[To talk to yourself]
I think you should clarify some details regarding what exactly you mean by a "basic instant messaging program" and what your objectives actually are regarding this project.
In a 2011 comment, you mentioned that there should be no "central hub", but in a more recent comment, you say that you would like something more in line with Skype or iMessage, where users do not have to know which peer is the server... It is technically possible (using protocols such as mdns, dlna or ssdp) for the program to transparently search the local network for potential existing server nodes and have it either connect to the server peer if there is one, or establish itself as a local server for other nodes to connect to it. That is for example how Apple iChat's Bonjour protocol used to work. This is however a rather complex solution to implement right, and is definitely not in line with what is done by current mass market messaging programs.
Also establishing direct peer-to-peer communication between users pose several practical issues (particularly because of firewalls and NAT, but there are also concerns of confidentiality and security). Most protocols therefore relay most messages through the central server, and negotiate a direct connection only for the purpose of file transfers and audio/video calls.
For all these reasons, unless you are looking merely for an example of local network communication between two hosts, you most certainly want two distinct programs: a server and a client.
Then, assuming my assumption is correct, there are two other questions that need to be clarified. First, do you have an actual reason to conceive the protocol by yourself, or would it be acceptable to rather implement an existing protocol (such as XMPP, IRC, SIMPLE... there are tons). Even though these protocols might looks highly complex at first, it is almost always possible to implement only a subset these protocol's features/messages. Designing a naive network protocol by yourself isn't that difficult, but there are tons of potential mistakes (mostly inefficiencies, incompleteness and other minor issues) that you will have to go through. Maybe that is indeed what you are specifically aiming for (that is, gaining experience at designing a network protocol from scratch), but unless it is so, you should seriously opt for implementing an existing protocol. Indeed, working with an existing protocol will not only avoid such design mistakes, but better yet, you will gain significant knowledge from how others (generally experienced protocol designers) actually resolved problems they met along the way. Using an existing protocol will also make it much easier and more interesting for you to develop that program, given that you will for example be able to test your client and server programs independently by connecting from/to an official client/server implementation. You will also be able to exploit exiting protocol-decoders in traffic sniffing tools in order to debug messages going through.
The second important question is how realistic you would like the server program to be, and most importantly in regard to persistance. Should the server maintain a persistant list of users and authenticate them? Should the server store a list of allowed contacts for each user? Should the server allow store messages aimed at a peer that is currently offline or that can't be reached at that exact moment? Real messaging server programs generally do such things, and though implementing such mechanisms isn't highly difficult, it is best considered early in the design of a program's architecture. For example, should you decide that these features are indeed desirable, then it might turn out to be much more interesting for you to immediately design your server around a persistant message queue engine, such as ActiveMQ...
I know this is not the examples you were asking for, but I still hope these thoughts may help you.
As said before, there is a lot of things that you need to put a real chat to work.
But i belive that you want something to start. And if you know the address and the port of the other "client" it is easy.
