I'm doing a school project where we are supposed to create a simplefied Hotel booking system and then use it with a server/client communication. Since I wanted to push the project a bit and do a multithreaded program, I've got a Socket Exception that I'm not sure how to handle. I've searched everywhere for an answer and I know that the exception occours because I'm trying to use a socket that has been closed. But from what I've read on Oracle-docs, their example is doing that as well.
So, is this actually Ok, just that I need to handle the exception? Cause my code runs fine, I just see the exceptions since I've put e.printStackTrace(); in my catch.
My Client class:
package client;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
try {
Socket client = new Socket("localhost", 6066);
//System.out.println("Just connected to " + client.getRemoteSocketAddress());
OutputStream outToServer = client.getOutputStream();
DataOutputStream out = new DataOutputStream(outToServer);
InputStream inFromServer = client.getInputStream();
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(inFromServer);
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
String date = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyy/MM/dd").format(localDate);
System.out.println(in.readUTF());
System.out.print("Namn: ");
String name = sc.nextLine();
System.out.print("Ålder: ");
String age = sc.nextLine();
out.writeUTF(name);
out.writeUTF(age);
out.writeUTF(date);
System.out.println(in.readUTF());
client.close();
}catch(IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
And my Server class:
package server;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;
public class Server {
public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException {
int port = 6066;
ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(port);
while(true) {
System.out.println("Listening for client..");
try {
Socket connectedClient = server.accept();
ClientHandle ch = new ClientHandle(connectedClient);
Thread t = new Thread((Runnable) ch);
t.start();
}catch (IOException e) {
}
}
}
}
And then my ClientHandle class which has the run() for the server-side:
package server;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;
import java.io.EOFException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;
import resources.*;
public class ClientHandle implements Runnable{
Socket connectedClient;
DataInputStream in;
DataOutputStream out;
public ClientHandle(Socket connectedClient) {
this.connectedClient = connectedClient;
try{
this.in = new DataInputStream(this.connectedClient.getInputStream());
this.out = new DataOutputStream(this.connectedClient.getOutputStream());
}catch(IOException ex) {
}
}
Hotel hotel = new Hotel();
Ticket yourTicket = new Ticket();
Server server = new Server();
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
try {
InetAddress host = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println("Client " + host + " has connected.");
out.writeUTF("Välkommen till Hotel Gisslevik!\nVänligen fyll i nedan information för att slutföra din bokning.\n");
String yourName = in.readUTF();
String age = in.readUTF();
int yourAge = Integer.parseInt(age);
String date = in.readUTF();
yourTicket.setDate(date);
Person guest = new Person(yourName, yourAge);
hotel.setRooms();
Integer room = hotel.getRoom();
String rent = "J";
if (rent.indexOf("J") >= 0) {
yourTicket.setId(yourName);
if (hotel.checkIn(guest, room, yourTicket.getId(), yourTicket.getDate())) {
String yourId = yourTicket.getId();
out.writeUTF("\nDitt rum är nu bokat den " + date + ". \nBokningsnummer: " + yourId);
}
}
out.flush();
connectedClient.close();
}catch (EOFException e) {
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
break;
}
}
}
}
If I just comment e.printStackTrace(); the exceptions doesn't show, but I would like to know how to handle them (if they should be handled). I've been searching the internet for days and checked out tutorials, but I don't find a proper answer to this.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
