I'm really confused by this: some of my code is not working when i run my program normally in eclipse, but it does wok when i run through each step separately using the debug mode.
Code:
public void showConnectDialog() {
ConnectDialog connectDialog = new ConnectDialog();
connectDialog.setVisible(true);
//Until here, code runs
while(! connectDialog.getConnected()) {};
//The next line does only run in debug
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(connectDialog, "Connected", "Connected", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
}
The connector (is started (as a thread) as soon as the user hits 'connect' in the dialog):
private class ServerConnector implements ActionListener, Runnable {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (! IP_field.getText().equals("")) {
if (! isConnecting) {
new Thread(new ServerConnector(), "ServerConnector").start();
}
}
else {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(dialog,
"Enter an IP address",
"Enter IP",
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
}
}
@Override
public void run() {
try {
setConnecting(true);
Socket socket = connect();
if (socket != null) {
ObjectOutputStream oOut = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
ObjectInputStream oIn = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
if (login(oOut, oIn)) {
isConnected = true;
setConnecting(false);
}
else {
socket.close();
}
setConnecting(false);
}
}
catch (RSPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(1);
}
catch (Exception e) {
//If an exception occurs, setConnecting() will be true. This
//not good, so it has to be set to false
e.printStackTrace();
setConnecting(false);
}
}
private boolean login(ObjectOutputStream oOut, ObjectInputStream oIn)
throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException, RSPException {
//Send login request action:
oOut.writeObject(new LoginAction(ActionSender.CLIENT, getID(),
getPassword()));
Object obj = oIn.readObject();
if (obj instanceof LoginActionResult) {
LoginActionResult result = (LoginActionResult) obj;
if (result.getResult() == LoginResults.SUCCES) {
return true;
}
else if (result.getResult() == LoginResults.FAIL_ON_ID) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(dialog,
"Invalid password or ID",
"Can't login",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
return false;
}
else if (result.getResult() == LoginResults.FAIL_ON_PASSWORD) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(dialog,
"Invalid password or ID",
"Can't login",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
return false;
}
else if (result.getResult() == LoginResults.SERVER_FULL) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(dialog,
"Couldn't connect: \n" +
"Server is full",
"Failed to connect",
JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
return false;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
else {
System.out.println(obj);
throw new RSPException("Server is not following the protocol.");
}

getConnected() returns true as soon as it's connected to the server. The connector is running on a separate thread.
EDIT: I tried to put code in the getConnected() while block, and then it works. Why does it works then and not else?
