TCP Sockets
 Once a TCP socket connection is made, a virtual
stream is in place. Java’s IO model is that of a stream,
therefore the models are consistent; all you need to do
connect a TCP socket to a stream and read and write
the streams.

ADVANCE JAVA
JAVA TCP Sockets
 In Package java.net
 java.net.Socket
 Implements client sockets (also called just “sockets”).
 An endpoint for communication between two
machines.
 Constructor and Methods
 Socket(String host, int port): Creates a stream socket
and connects it to the specified port number on the
named host.
 InputStream getInputStream()
 OutputStream getOutputStream()
 close()

ADVANCE JAVA
 java.net.ServerSocket
 Implements server sockets.
 Waits for requests to come in over the network.
 Performs some operation based on the request.
 Constructor and Methods
 ServerSocket(int port)
 Socket Accept(): Listens for a connection to be made to this
socket and accepts it. This method blocks until a connection
is made.

ADVANCE JAVA

 Creates a streaming socket connected to the specified
host and port.
 Socket(InetAddress ia, int port, boolean TCPorUDP)

ADVANCE JAVA
Implementing a Server
1. Open the Server Socket:
ServerSocket server;
DataOutputStream os;
DataInputStream is;
server = new ServerSocket( PORT );
2. Wait for the Client Request:
Socket client = server.accept();
3. Create I/O streams for communicating to the client
is = new DataInputStream( client.getInputStream());
os = new DataOutputStream( client.getOutputStream());
4. Perform communication with client
Receive from client: String line = is.readLine();
Send to client: os.writeBytes("Hellon");
5. Close sockets: client.close();

ADVANCE JAVA
For multithreaded server:
while(true) {
i. wait for client requests (step 2 above)
ii. create a thread with “client” socket as
parameter (the thread creates streams (as in
step (3) and does communication as stated in
(4). Remove thread once service is provided.
}

ADVANCE JAVA
Implementing a Client
1. Create a Socket Object:
client = new Socket( server, port_id );
2. Create I/O streams for communicating with the server:
is = new DataInputStream(client.getInputStream() );
os = new DataOutputStream(client.getOutputStream() );
3. Perform I/O or communication with the server:
Receive data from the server:
String line = is.readLine();
Send data to the server:
os.writeBytes("Hellon");
4. Close the socket when done:
client.close();

ADVANCE JAVA

} } }

ADVANCE JAVA
UDP Sockets
 Since UDP is a connectionless protocol; there is no
virtual stream between the hosts so streams are not
used for IO.
 UDP applications are not thought of in terms of
clients and servers, but rather in terms of senders
and receivers.
 For conversational applications both ends (sender
and receiver) will be changing states from sender to
receiver and back again
 Many UDP based applications are simple send a
request then receive the data (sender’s perspective),
like a DNS request. The receiver’s perspective is to
‘listen’ for a request, send the response, listen for
more requests.

ADVANCE JAVA

data. The length must be lesser or equal to the offset
plus the length of the packet's buffer.

URLEncoder class
 Alphanumeric ASCII characters (a-z, A-Z, and 0-9)
and the $-_.!*'(), punctuation symbols are left
unchanged.
 The space character is converted into a plus sign
(+).
 Other characters (e.g. &, =, ^, #, %, ^, {, and so
on) are translated into a percent sign followed by
the two hexadecimal digits corresponding to their
numeric value.
 Example:
 The comma is ASCII character 44 (decimal) or 2C
(hex). Therefore if the comma appears as part of a
URL it is encoded as %2C.
 The query string "Author=Sadie, Julie&Title=Women
Composers" is encoded as: Author=Sadie
%2C+Julie&Title=Women+Composers

ADVANCE JAVA
URLEncoder methods
 URLEncoder.encode(String s)
 URLEncoder.decode(String s)

ADVANCE JAVA
 Example
 String qs = "Author=Sadie, Julie&Title=Women
Composers"; String eqs = URLEncoder.encode(qs);
System.out.println(eqs);
 Prints:
 Author%3dSadie%2c+Julie%26Title
%3dWomen+Composers
 String eqs = "Author=" +
