Getting error "java.net.SocketException: Connection reset"

Question

I am learning Socket Programming in Java. I am getting java.net.SocketException: Connection reset.

Client Side Code

    package com.socket;

    import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
    import java.io.PrintWriter;
    import java.net.Socket;

    public class ClientSock {

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

            Socket skt = new Socket("localhost", 8888);     
            String str = "Hello Server";
            OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(skt.getOutputStream()); 

            PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(osw);
            osw.write(str);
            osw.flush();        
        }
    }

//Server Side Code:

    package com.socket;

    import java.io.BufferedReader;
    import java.io.InputStreamReader;
    import java.net.ServerSocket;
    import java.net.Socket;

    public class ServerSock {

        public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

            System.out.println("Server is Started");
            ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(8888);

            Socket s = ss.accept();

            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
            String str = br.readLine();

            System.out.println("Client Says : " + str);         
        }
    }

Here is my console after run client code, I am getting Exception Connection reset, where I am doing wrong?

 Server is Started

"Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketException: Connection reset" error occurs when the opponent is forcibly terminated without calling close().

Add this line to ClientSock

skt.close();

and I recommend this too to ServerSock.

ss.close();

java.io.Closeable implementing object must call close ().

skt.close will remove the exception but not the root cause of the exception. There can be multiple casues of SocektException – Vineet Kasat Apr 14 '17 at 07:49
Yes, exception gone!!! I close both Socket and ServerSocket. Well Thanks @Seongmin Gwon and Vineet Kasat. – Swapnil P. Apr 14 '17 at 11:22

You forgot "\n" in your "Hello Server".
Reader can't get the full line and throws this exception.
