I am trying to put together a tank game and I am having issues with the networking part. What am I doing wrong on the server??
Here is my server code :
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class UDPServer extends Thread{
private DatagramSocket socket;
private TanksComponent tank;
private InetAddress IPAddress;
private int port = 9876;
public void UPDServer() throws IOException{
socket = new DatagramSocket(port);
}
public void run(){
while(true){
byte[] data = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
try {
socket.receive(packet);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("RECEIVED: " + packet.getAddress() + " " + packet.getPort() + ": " + new String(packet.getData()) ) ;
IPAddress = packet.getAddress();
}
}
public void sendData(byte[] data){
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, IPAddress, port);
try {
this.socket.send(packet);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Here is my client code :
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class UDPClient extends Thread{
private InetAddress ipAddress;
private DatagramSocket clientSocket;
private TanksComponent tank;
private byte[] data = new byte[1024];
private int port = 9876;
public UDPClient(TanksComponent tanksComponent) throws SocketException, UnknownHostException{
this.tank = tanksComponent;
this.clientSocket = new DatagramSocket();
this.ipAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
}
public void run(){
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
try {
clientSocket.receive(packet);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
String message = new String(packet.getData());
System.out.println("SERVER > " + message);
}
public void sendData(byte[] data){
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, ipAddress, port);
try {
clientSocket.send(packet);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I am invoking the code like this :
public void start() throws UnknownHostException, SocketException {
if(JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(this, "Server") == 0){
socketServer = new UDPServer();
socketServer.start();
}else{
socketClient = new UDPClient(this);
socketClient.start();
System.out.println("Send");
socketClient.sendData("ping".getBytes());
}
Thanks for the help kind stranger !

It is working on my local host. however, I want to send messages from my AWS server instance (with public ipv4) and receive them in the local client. How to do it?
if yes, please give me an example!
Tks all
I'm planning to create a server and run it on google cloud VM, this code is working fine in the localhost but it won't run on External IP.
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Server extends Thread {
private ServerSocket serverSocket;
public Server(int port) throws IOException {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
}
public void run() {
while(true) {
try {
System.out.println("Waiting for Connection ");
Socket server = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Just connected to " + server.getRemoteSocketAddress());
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(server.getInputStream());
System.out.println(in.readUTF());
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(server.getOutputStream());
out.writeUTF("Goodbye");
server.close();
} catch (SocketTimeoutException s) {
System.out.println("Socket timed out!");
break;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
break;
}
}
}
public static void main(String [] args) throws UnknownHostException {
int port = 4999;
try {
Thread t = new Server(port);
t.start();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
and this is for the client
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Client {
public static void main(String [] args) {
String serverName = "localhost";
int port = Integer.parseInt("4999");
try {
System.out.println("Connecting to " + serverName + " on port " + port);
Socket client = new Socket(serverName, port);
OutputStream outToServer = client.getOutputStream();
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(outToServer);
out.writeUTF("[Client]Hello from " + client.getLocalSocketAddress());
InputStream inFromServer = client.getInputStream();
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(inFromServer);
System.out.println("[Server] " + in.readUTF());
client.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
and this is the net config of the google VM instance:
Internal ip-> 10.138.0.13 (nic0) | External ip-> 34.83.94.126
can you please tell me how to get it running on a public ip.
I have been working on a message system where users type in a server IP/Port and that server then takes in messages and relays them to all other users on the server. The whole program was based of a echo server i rewrote from scratch, for every server.accept() socket it creates two Threads, one to receive messages and one to send them back. The two Threads are connected by a DatagramPacket system so if the server receives a message from one socket it sends it back to all other users because their Threads are listening for the same thing, this is where i am encountering problems; everything work fine except the fact that the user who receives the message alternates in order to time of log on.
Example of problem when two clients are connected:
Client #1 sends 10 messages:
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
The Server receives all of them.
Client #1 receives:
1
3
5
7
9
Client #2 receives:
0
2
4
6
8

There is 2 threads for Server.
One for reading UDP messages. I used 2 different ports since I just want to avoid messages read by same process. I don't have 2 machines to test it. Tested on my local host.
Another thread will broadcast UDP messages received by reader thread.
There is a thread safe list which acts between threads as data sync. Received data added to the list. Broadcaster thread polling the list for the data, if there is any broadcast and else sleep for 500 microseconds. Threads are created using executor.

Design can be modified by changing the creation of sender thread. Whenever receiver thread gets a message, create a sender thread and do the broadcast and shutdown that thread. You can use reusable thread pool instead of fixed Thread pool what used in this example. And you can pass message as argument while you create sender thread (so list may not be needed at all) and do the submit. I do have code.

I want to make three servers communicate using java UDP. If a particular method which exists for all the three servers is called on the first server instance the other two servers should also communicate the result for those methods to the first servers using UDP.

In the UDPDataExchange I've defined two methods to send and receive data. In the UDPTest class I am trying to create two server instances namely mcgill and dawson server who would listen to concordia's port for data sent. Once they receive it they send a response back to Concordia
Try this, I´m not sure if it is exactly what you want.

I´ll explain brielfy what I changed:
UDPDataExchange:
I changed the IPAdress to InetAddress.getLocalHost()
UDPTest:
Each call to responseData runs in a separate Thread, to avoid blocking the main thread.
That threads are daemon to allow exit application.
The requestData() invocation has changed to call each server.
Hope to be useful.
I'm trying to create a very simple chat application in Java using UDP sockets. There is one server and multiple clients.
right now my code is :

I want to be able to send a message to a single user or to all the users but the problem is that i can't receive the message on the client because as it stands now the client only receives a message after it sends one to the server. So my thought was to use a thread that continuosly listens for messages from the server but it doesn't work. What's the easiest way to go about this ?
You are attempting to use the received datagram immediately, instead of waiting for the thread you created to receive a datagram and populate your in variable. You could either handle the received datagram directly in the thread's code, or signal the main thread when a datagram is received using a wait() / notify() scheme.
