Lab 3 Exercise: Understanding Socket Programming with Java

**Objective:**
This lab aims to provide you with hands-on experience in socket programming using Java. By
the end of this session, you should be able to create a basic client-server communication
system, comprehend socket concepts, and implement a simple messaging protocol.

**Requirements:**
1. Java Development Kit (JDK)
2. Code editor (e.g., IntelliJ, Eclipse)

**Instructions:**

**1. Server Implementation:**


- Open your code editor and create a new Java class named `Server`.
- Inside the `Server` class, implement the following steps:
a. Create a `ServerSocket` and bind it to a specific port (e.g., 5000).
b. Print a message indicating that the server is listening on the chosen port.
c. Accept incoming client connections using `serverSocket.accept()`.
d. Create input and output streams for communication.
e. Read and display the message sent by the client.
f. Send a response back to the client.
g. Close streams and sockets properly.

**2. Client Implementation:**


- In the same code editor, create a new Java class named `Client`.
- Inside the `Client` class, implement the following steps:
a. Connect to the server using `Socket` and specify the server's address (localhost) and
port (5000).
b. Create input and output streams for communication.
c. Send a message to the server.
d. Read and display the server's response.
e. Close streams and socket.

**3. Execution Order:**


- To observe the communication flow, execute the `Client` class first.
- Subsequently, execute the `Server` class.

**4. Expected Output:**


- After executing the `Client` class, expect a message like "Hello, Server!" to be sent to the
server.
- Upon server execution, anticipate seeing "Client says: Hello, Server!" and a response like
"Message received. Connection closed."
- The `Client` class should then display "Server response: Message received. Connection
closed.".
