I have a question about the SocketServer and Socket connection in java regarding when using a host other than localhost.
I am trying to write a simple chat program and I was hoping to make other people in my house connect to it. This is the code where I create my server-socket and socket:
private static boolean clientIsConnected = false;
public static void main(String[] args) {
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
Server server = null;
try{
server = new Server();
clientIsConnected = server.getClient().isConnected();
while(clientIsConnected){
System.out.println("Message From Client: ");
System.out.print(server.recieveMessage());
System.out.println();
}
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try{
if(server!=null)server.getServer().close();
if(server!=null)server.getClient().close();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}).start();
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
Client client = null;
try{
Thread.sleep(2000);
client = new Client();
clientIsConnected = client.getClient().isConnected();
System.out.println("Exit with \'!\'");
while(clientIsConnected){
Scanner userInput = new Scanner(System.in);
String message = userInput.next();
clientIsConnected = message.equals("!");
client.sendMessage(message);
}
} catch(InterruptedException i){
i.printStackTrace();
}
catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
try{
if(client!=null)client.getClient().close();
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}).start();
}
static class Server{
protected static final int PORT = 50211;
private final ServerSocket server;
protected Socket client;
Server() throws IOException{
server = new ServerSocket(PORT);
client = server.accept();
}
public boolean sendMessage(String message) throws IOException{
if(message == null)return false;
if(message.isEmpty())return false;
client.getOutputStream().write(message.getBytes());
return true;
}
public String recieveMessage() throws IOException{
StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
int character;
while((character = client.getInputStream().read())!= -1)
message.append((char)character);
return message.toString();
}
public ServerSocket getServer() {
return server;
}
public Socket getClient() {
return client;
}
}
static class Client extends Server{
Client() throws IOException{
client = new Socket("localhost",PORT);
}
}

try{

System.out.println("Exit with \'!\'");

}
static void startServer(){
new Thread(new Runnable(){
public void run(){
Server server = null;
try{

while(!didUserExit){
if(server.getServer()== null){
server.setServer(new ServerSocket(server.PORT));
server.setClient(server.getServer().accept());
}
String clientMessage = server.recieveMessage();
if(!clientMessage.isEmpty()){

System.out.println();
}
}
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally{
if(server!=null)server.close();
}
}
}).start();
}
now the problem is this:
run:
Exit with '!'
Send a message to server:
Hello world
Send a message to server:
!
Message From Client:
Hello
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 8 seconds)
Notice how the message that is sent to the server doesn't include 'world' it must be ('Hello world'); everything after the first space character will not be included.
what might be causing this...I tried to figure this out, but wasn't successful.
