Server Client Chat Application with Java Socket Programming

Usually, the server runs on a specific computer and has a socket that is bound to a specific port number. The server is just waiting, listening for a socket for a client to make a connection request.

On the client side: the client knows the hostname of the server machine that is running and the port number on which the server is listening. To make a connection request, the client tries to meet with the server on the server and port machine. The client also needs to identify himself to the server so that it binds to the local port number that will be used during this connection. This is usually given by the system.

If all goes well, the server accepts the connection. Once received, the server gets a new socket bound to the same local port and also has an endpoint that is set to the address and port of the client. A new socket is required so that it can continue to listen for socket connection requests while taking care of the needs of the connected client.

On the client side, if a connection is accepted, the socket is successfully made and the client can use the socket to communicate with the server. Clients and servers can communicate by writing or reading from the socket.

1. Explanation

The following is the source code, explanation and results of the execution of this application.

server.java

On the server, first opening port 9999 and waiting for the connection.

try{serverSocket = new ServerSocket(9999);}catch(IOException e){System.out.println(“IO “+e);}

Then an object from the cThread class is created so that the class can be run with the start () method.

while (true){try{clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();cThread s = new cThread(clientSocket);clients.add(s);s.start();}catch (IOException e){System.out.println(“IOaccept “+e);}}

If the connection has been formed from a login request, the server will check the nickname because it must be unique. If the nickname is already in use, the server will send a new nickname request.

If a nickname is available, the server will send the list to all clients. Furthermore, if many clients are connected to the server and there are sending general messages, the server will forward them to all clients. Whereas if the client receives a private message, the server will only forward it to its destination.

If the server receives the log out command, then delete the nickname from the list and send back the latest client list up date to all clients. The server works with Threads, so it can handle many clients.

cThread.java

In the program below, cThread creates a socket that is used to connect to the server. Input from the user will be read in the form of a standard output stream and then forward the message to the server by writing it on the socket. The server will display input from the socket to the client. The client program will read and display messages from the server.

Next there is a command to get the output stream from the socket and open PrintWriter in it. Then the command is carried out to get the input stream from the socket and open the BufferedReader in it. To send data through the socket to the server, cThread is enough to write it to PrintWriter. To get a response from the server, cThread reads it from BufferedReader.

try{out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(),true);in = new BufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));}catch (Exception e){System.out.println(e);}}

The next command is a command to respond to the actions of users who log in, log out, write public and private messages. Starting with the code below that checks for a message (msg) in BufferedReader (i). If true, then also check whether the received message starts with ?Login?, if yes, then the login () method will be called.

while (true){String msg = in.readLine();System.out.println(msg);if (msg.startsWith(“Login”)){login(msg);}

If the message received is a log out message then the connection with the client will be terminated with the close () command.

else if (msg.equals(“Logout”)){if (connected) {connected = false;int k = server.clients.indexOf(this);server.clients.remove(this);sendList();out.println(“OK”);out.close();in.close();clientSocket.close();return;}

If the message starts with a post then the server will send messages to all clients and if it starts with privatepost then the message will only be sent to the destination client.

else if (msg.startsWith(“Post “)) {for (int i = 0; i < server.clients.size() ; i ++){cThread t = (cThread)server.clients.get(i);if (t.connected) {t.send(“Recieve “+ nick+”: “+msg.substring(5, msg.length()));} } }else if (msg.startsWith(“PrivatePost “)) {StringTokenizer st = newStringTokenizer(msg.substring(12,msg.length()),”, “);String message = st.nextToken();String to = st.nextToken();boolean success = false;for (int i = 0; i < server.clients.size() ; i ++){cThread t = (cThread)server.clients.get(i);if (t.nick.equals(to)){t.send(“PrivateRecieve “+ nick+”: ” +message);success = true;break;

This class has a method named login () which is used to check the nickname that the client uses to keep it unique with the following loop.

for (int i = 0;i<server.clients.size();i++) {if (server.clients.get(i) != null) {System.out.println(msg.substring(7, msg.length()));cThread temp = (cThread)server.clients.get(i);if ((temp.nick).equals(msg.substring(7, msg.length()))){exists = true;break;

Kelas ini juga memiliki methode send() yang digunakan untuk mengirim list client yang terkoneksi.

for (int i = 0; i < server.clients.size() ; i ++) {cThread t = (cThread)server.clients.get(i);if (t.connected) {t.send(list); }

Pada sisi client, ada 4 kelas yang dibentuk:

  1. readFromServer.java ? membaca koneksi dengan server
  2. client.java ? kelas untuk membuat GUI dari aplikasi chat ini dengan menggunakan JFrame milik Netbeans
  3. userInput.java ? untuk menuliskan pesan chatting
  4. clientRunner.java ? untuk menjalankan GUI dari client.java, karena kelas ini bertugas untuk membuat objek baru dari kelas client tersebut.

readFromServer.java

Progam ini berisi pembacaan client terhadap server. Di antaranya adalah, menerima pesan umum, pesan privat, mengetahui list terakhir client yang terhubung ke server, dan peringatan bahwa nickname yang diinginkan sudah dipakai sehingga harus menggunakan nickname lain. Hampir sama dengan perintah?perintah pada cThread.java., kelas ini juga menampilkan list client, pesan yang diterima baik yang public maupun yang privat dengan perintah di bawah ini.

System.out.print(“List updated: New names: “);for (int i = 0; i < client.list.size();i++){System.out.print(client.list.get(i) + ” “);}System.out.println();}else if (s.startsWith(“Recieve”)){client.mainText.setText(client.mainText.getText() +”n” + s.substring(8,s.length()));client.mainText.setCaretPosition(client.mainText.getText().length());}else if (s.startsWith(“PrivateRecieve”)){client.mainText.setText(client.mainText.getText() +”n” + “Privat Messages: ” + s.substring(14,s.length()));client.mainText.setCaretPosition(client.mainText.getText().length());}

Untuk menjalankan client, langkah pertama yang harus dilakukan adalah menjalankan servernya dulu, setelah itu run clientRunner.java untuk membuat objek baru. Jika ingin membuka lebih dari 1 client, run lagi clientRunner.java untuk membuat objek lagi.

clientRunner.java

Kelas ini hanya bertugas untuk membuat objek baru dari kelas client.java. Jika ketika ingin mencoba memunculkan lebih dari 1 client, kita tinggal mengompile kelas ini. Untuk menjalankan GUI dari program chat ini, kita harus membuat objek terlebih dahulu, otomatis kelas inilah yang di run terlebih dahulu setelah menjalankan server.

userInput.java

Kelas ini merupakan turunan dari kelas Thread. Seperti tugas yang lalu mengenai fungsi run, dalam kelas ini dideklarasikan method bernama run(). Tujuan dari method ini adalah mengatur input dan output text dari ke server. Dalam method run() ini berisi pemanggilan fungsi read() dan send(), 2 method ini dideklarasikan pada kelas client.java. Tugas dari method send() adalah mengeluarkan input message dari client.

client.java

Bisa dibilang kelas ini merupakan program dari client yang utama. Pada kelas ini dibuat GUI sebagai interaksi untuk melakukan chatting dengan antar client. GUI dari program ini dibuat dengan bantuan Netbeans dengan JFrame?nya. Jadi kebanyakan dari tampilan source code merupakan hasil dari generate Java Swing tersebut. Sedangkan logicnya hanya berada pada aksi button, input text dan menumenu terkait. Yang akan dibahas hanya bagian?bagian pentingnya saja, berikut penjelasannya.

private void nickListMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt){if (connected && (!nickList.getSelectedValue().equals(nick))){String msg = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, “server:”);if (msg != null){send(“PrivatePost”+msg+”,”+nickList.getSelectedValue());}System.out.println(nickList.getSelectedValue());}}

Perintah diatas merupakan perintah disaat kita melakukan private message kepada client tertentu. Ketika event bernilai true, maka akan muncul dialog yang bertanya server mana yang dituju. Jika benar, akan tertulis Private Post dan pesannya pada server.

private void jMenuItem1ActionPerformed2(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){send(“Logout”);client.logout = true;System.exit(0);}

The above command for the action when the Disconnect menu is clicked, the words Logout will appear on the server and the client system stops immediately.

private void jMenuItem1ActionPerformed3(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){String s;s = “Login and Connect. Connect to localhost then input yourusernamen”;JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this, s,”Usage”,JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );}

The above command when the Help menu and then Usage is clicked. A popup message that appears like a string appears in the variable s above.

static String server;private void jMenuItem1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){setTitle(“Connecting …”);logout = false;sinput = new readFromServer(this);uinput = new userInput();cSocket = null;out = null;in = null;boolean error;error = false;server = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(“Server: “, “localhost”);try{cSocket = new Socket(server,9999);out = new PrintWriter(cSocket.getOutputStream(), true);in = new BufferedReader(newInputStreamReader(cSocket.getInputStream()));uinput.start();sinput.start();}catch(UnknownHostException e){JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this, “No server isfound”,”ERROR”, JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );System.out.println(“Host Error” + e);setTitle(“Simple Java Chat – Cannot Connect Please Tryanother server”);error = true;}catch (IOException e){System.out.println(“IOException” + e);}if (!error){nick = null;nick = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, “NickName: “);while(nick.contains(“;”)){nick = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,”InputNickname”;”.Cannot be null.”);}send(“Login: “+nick);if (nick != null){jMenuItem1.setEnabled(false);jMenuItem2.setEnabled(true);}}}

While the above command regulates the client when it will connect. It starts when the Connect menu on the Login menu is clicked. Initially the client must read first, whether the server is running or not, if not it will not be able to connect. If the server is already running, a popup will appear asking the server?s address, in this case we fill it with localhost. Then the nickname will be asked to login. When we try to connect to the server, cSocket will create a new object that accesses port 9999. However, when the server is not found, a popup message will appear asking us to write the exact server address.

void sendInput(){if (!connected){JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( this, “Not connected! Actions -Connect”,”Error”, JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE );inputText.setText(“”);}else if(inputText.getText().equals(“”) ||inputText.getText().equals(“n”) || inputText.getText()== null ){inputText.setText(“”);}else{send(“Post ” + replace(inputText.getText(),”n”,” “));inputText.setText(“”);}}

The above function is the sendInput () method which is a method for reading input that is inputted by the client. This method is used to enter text to the server, then the server throws the string to the desired client.

PasswordDemo,java

In this class, a password request is made to the client. The client entered password will be checked correctly or not with the isPasswordCorrect method. If the password is wrong, then the client cannot connect to the server.

private static boolean isPasswordCorrect(char input) {boolean isCorrect = true;char correctPassword = { ‘t’, ‘e’, ‘s’, ‘t’, ‘i’, ‘n’, ‘g’ };if (input.length != correctPassword.length) {isCorrect = false;} else {isCorrect = Arrays.equals (input, correctPassword);}//Zero out the password.Arrays.fill(correctPassword,’0′);return isCorrect;
