Socket socket;
String host;
BufferedReader in;
PrintStream out;
......//later on in code
//Client it to try to connect to host over predetermined
port
//you should save the socket in a
CLASS (OOP design!)
socket = new Socket(host, 50001);
//Open up stream to write out messages over socket
//you should again save in a CLASS
out = new PrintStream(socket.getOutputStream());
//Open up stream to recieve any messages over socket
from
//server. Again should save in a CLASS
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream())
);
.....//later in code
//Now you can read using in or write using out to the
chat
//server using information from your GUI the user is using.
//example....send the text stored in the string S
out.println(S);
//example....reading in information
in.readLine();
