Abstract
Teleconferencing or chatting refers to any kind of communication that offers a real-time transmission
of messages from sender to the receiver. Chatting is a method of using technology to bring people and
ideas together despite the geographical barriers. The technology to provide the chatting facility has
been available for years, but the acceptance is quite recent. Analysis of chatting provides an overview
of the technologies used, available features, functions, system of the architecture of the application,
the structure of database of an Instant Messaging application: IChat(IC). The objective of IC
application is to facilitate text messaging, group chatting option, data transfer without size restriction
which is commonly seen in most of the messaging applications.
INTRODUCTION
Chatting Application is a desktop based application.
This client server chat application is based on java swing and used socket package. its
simple and easy and require only core java knowledge. I have taken this program from
internet and modified a little bit to make it simpler and more elegant.
This application/program is a good example of using java.io, java.net package to create a

chat application. A beginner of java language, who is familiar with this packages can
able, be beneficiate.
Chatting is a method of using technology to bring people and ideas “together”

despite of the geographical barriers. The technology has been available for years
but the acceptance it was quit recent. Our project is an example of a multiple
client chat server.
It is made up of 2 applications the client application, which runs on the user’s
Pc and server application ,which runs on any Pc on the network. To start
chatting client should get connected to server. We will focus on TCP and UDP
socket connections which are a fundamental part of socket programming.
Keywords: sockets, client-server, Java network programming-socket

functions, Multicasting etc.
MAIN OBJECTIVE
The aim of this project is to express how we can implement a simple chat application
between a server and a client? The application is a desktop based application and is
implemented using Swing and awt. The project is developed in Java SE language
executed on a single stand-alone java across a network using loop back address
concept.
Application consists of two programs:
Server
Client
Server
The server module of the application waits for the client to connect to it. Then if
connection is granted a client interacts communicates and connects to the server, it
can mutually communicate with the server. The duty of the server is to let clients
exchange the messages.
Client
The client module is the one that utilizer sends requests to the server. Utilizer utilizes
the client as the means to connect to the server. Once he establishes the connection,
he can communicate to the connected server.
REQUIREMENTS
External Interface Requirements
User Interface
The user interface required to be developed for the system

should be user friendly and attractive.
There are two sets of Java APIs for graphics programming:
AWT (Abstract Windowing Toolkit) and Swing.
 AWT API was introduced in JDK 1.0. Most of the AWT

components have become obsolete and should be
replaced by newer Swing components.
 Swing API, a much more comprehensive set of graphics
libraries that enhances the AWT, was introduced as part
of Java Foundation Classes (JFC) after the release of
JDK 1.1. JFC consists of Swing, Java2D, Accessibility,
Internationalization, and Pluggable Look-and-Feel
Support APIs. JFC was an add-on to JDK 1.1 but has
been integrated into core Java since JDK 1.2.
Software Interfaces
Programming Language :-
 Java
 Socket Programming
Operational Concepts and Scenarios
Operation of the application based on the inputs given by the

user:
When the run button is clicked then the chat form is initialized
with a connection
 between the host and the client machine.
Note: server must be started at first before a client start.
 Contains a rich textbox which send messages from one user
to another
 Contains a textbox for messages to be written that is sent
across the network.
 Contains a Send button
. When the sent button is clicked, in the background, the text
in the textbox is encoded
 and sent as a packet over the network to the client machine.
Here this message is decoded and is shown in the rich textbox.
Project Scope
This project can be mainly divided into two modules:
1. Server
2. Client
This project is mainly depended on client/server model. The client requests the
server and server responses by granting the clients request. The proposed
system should provide both of the above features along with the followed ones:
Server
A server is a computer program that provides services to other computer
programs (and their users) in the same or other computers. The computer that a
server program runs in is also frequently referred to as a server. That machine
may be a dedicated server or used for other purposes as well. Example Server,
Database, Dedicated, Fileserver, Proxy Server, Web Server. The server is
always waiting for client’s requests. The client come and go down but the server
remains the same.
A server application normally listens to a specific port waiting for connection
requests from a client. When a connection request arrives, the client and the
server establish a dedicated connection over which they can communicate.
During the connection process, the client is assigned a local port number, and
binds a socket to it. The client talks to the server by writing to the socket and
gets information from the server by reading from it. Similarly, the server gets a
new local port number (it needs a new port number so that it can continue to
listen for connection requests on the original port). The server also binds a
socket to its local port and communicates with the client by reading from and
writing to it. The client and the server must agree on a protocol that is, they
must agree on the language of the information transferred back and forth
through the socket. Normally, a server runs on a specific computer and has a
socket that is bound to a specific port number. The server just waits, listening to
the socket for a client to make a connection request.
1. THE SERVER SCREEN
Figure 1
Client
On the client site the client knows the hostname of the machine on
which the server is running and the port number on which the server
is listening.
To make a connection request, the client tries to rendezvous with the

server on the server's machine and port. The client also needs to
identify itself to the server so it binds to a local port number that it
will use during this connection. This is usually assigned by the
system.
The model used for this project is the single server –

Single client models.
The following specifications must be implemented:
1. The server and client are two separate programs.

Future work
There is always a room for improvements in any
software package, however good and efficient it may be
done. But the most important thing should be flexible to
accept further modification. Right now we are just
dealing with text communication. In future this software
may be extended to include features such as:
Files transfer: this will enable the user to send files of

different formats to others via the chat application.
Voice chat: this will enhance the application to a higher
level where communication will be possible via voice
calling as in telephone.
Video chat: this will further enhance the feature of
calling into video communication.
Conclusion
I Developed network applications in Java by using

sockets, threads, and Web services.
These software is portable, efficient, and easily
maintainable for large number of clients. Our developed
web-based chatting software is unique in its features and
more importantly easily customizable. The java.net
package provides a powerful and flexible set of classes
for implementing network applications. Typically,
programs running on client machines make requests to
programs on a server Machine. These involve
networking services provided by the transport layer. The
most widely used transport protocols on the Internet are
TCP (Transmission control Protocol) and UDP (User
Datagram Protocol).
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol providing a
reliable flow of data between two computers. On the
other hand, UDP is a simpler message-based
connectionless protocol which sends packets of data
known as datagrams from one computer to another with
no guarantees of arrival.
