Java Networking

1
Introduction
Java Networking is a concept of connecting two or more computing
devices together so that we can share resources.
Java socket programming provides facility to share data between
different computing devices.
The java.net package supports two protocols,
TCP: Transmission Control Protocol provides reliable communication
between the sender and receiver. TCP is used along with the Internet Protocol
referred as TCP/IP.
UDP: User Datagram Protocol provides a connection-less protocol service by
allowing packet of data to be transferred along two or more nodes

2
Java Networking Terminology
The widely used Java networking terminologies are given below:
957
1. IP Address
2. Protocol
3. Port Number
4. MAC Address
5. Connection-oriented and connection-less protocol
6. Socket

IP Address
IP address is a unique number assigned to a node of a network e.g. 192.168.0.1 . It is
composed of octets that range from 0 to 255.
It is a logical address that can be changed.
Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules basically that is followed for communication. For example:
 TCP
 FTP
 Telnet
 SMTP
 POP etc.

4
Con…
Port Number
The port number is used to uniquely identify different applications. It acts as a
communication endpoint between applications.
The port number is associated with the IP address for communication between
two applications.
MAC Address
MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identifier of NIC (Network
Interface Controller). A network node can have multiple NIC but each with
unique MAC address.
For example, an ethernet card may have a MAC address of
00:0d:83::b1:c0:8e.

5
Con…

Socket
A socket is an endpoint between two way communications.
Visit next page for Java socket programming.
java.net package
The java.net package can be divided into two sections:
A Low-Level API: It deals with the abstractions of addresses i.e. networking identifiers,
Sockets i.e. bidirectional data communication mechanism and Interfaces i.e. network
interfaces.
A High Level API: It deals with the abstraction of URIs i.e. Universal Resource Identifier,
URLs i.e. Universal Resource Locator, and Connections i.e. connections to the resource
pointed by URLs.
The java.net package provides many classes to deal with networking
applications in Java. A list of these classes is given below:
6
Java Socket Programming
Java Socket programming is used for communication between the
applications running on different JRE.
Java Socket programming can be connection-oriented or connection-
less.
Socket and ServerSocket classes are used for connection-oriented
socket programming and DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket classes
are used for connection-less socket programming.

7
Con…
The client in socket programming must know two information:
1. IP Address of Server, and
2. Port number.
Here, we are going to make one-way client and server communication.
 In this application, client sends a message to the server, server reads the message and prints
it.
Here, two classes are being used: Socket and ServerSocket.
The Socket class is used to communicate client and server.
Through this class, we can read and write message.
The ServerSocket class is used at server-side.
The accept() method of ServerSocket class blocks the console until the client is connected.
After the successful connection of client, it returns the instance of Socket at server-side.

Con…
Socket class
A socket is simply an endpoint for communications between the
machines.
The Socket class can be used to create a socket.
Important methods
Method Description
1) public InputStream getInputStream() returns the InputStream attached with this socket.
2) public OutputStream getOutputStream() returns the OutputStream attached with this
socket.
3) public synchronized void close() closes this socket

10
Con…
ServerSocket class
The ServerSocket class can be used to create a server socket. This
object is used to establish communication with the clients.
Important methods

Method Description
1) public Socket accept() returns the socket and establish a connection
between server and client.
2) public synchronized void close() closes the server socket.

11
Example of Java Socket Programming
Creating Server:
To create the server application, we need to create the instance of
ServerSocket class.
Here, we are using 9999 port number for the communication between
the client and server.
You may also choose any other port number.
 The accept() method waits for the client.
If clients connects with the given port number, it returns an instance
of Socket.
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(9999);
Socket s=ss.accept();//establishes connection and waits for the client
12
Con…
Creating Client:
To create the client application, we need to create the instance of
Socket class.
 Here, we need to pass the IP address or hostname of the Server and a
port number.
 Here, we are using "localhost" because our server is running on same
system.
Socket s=new Socket("localhost",6666);

13
 Let's see a simple of Java socket programming where client sends a text and server receives and prints it.
• //File: MyClient.java
//File: MyServer.java import java.io.*;
import java.io.*; import java.net.*;
import java.net.*; public class MyClient {
public class MyServer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
try{
Socket s=new Socket("localhost",9999);
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(9999);
DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
Socket s=ss.accept();//establishes connection
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());dout.writeUTF("Hello Server");
String str=(String)dis.readUTF(); dout.flush();
System.out.println("message= "+str); dout.close();
ss.close(); s.close();
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);} }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
} }
} }

14
Example of Java Socket Programming (Read-
Write both side)
In this example, client will write first to the server then server will
receive and print the text.
Then server will write to the client and client will receive and print
the text. The step goes on.

15
//File: MyServer.java //File: MyClient.java

ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(3333); DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
Socket s=ss.accept(); DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream()); BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream()); String str="",str2="";

BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); while(!str.equals("stop")){

str=br.readLine();
String str="",str2="";
dout.writeUTF(str);
while(!str.equals("stop")){
dout.flush();
str=din.readUTF();
str2=din.readUTF();
System.out.println("client says: "+str);
System.out.println("Server says: "+str2);
str2=br.readLine(); }
dout.writeUTF(str2); dout.close();
dout.flush(); s.close();

} }}

din.close();
s.close();
16
ss.close();
Java URL
The Java URL class represents an URL. URL is an acronym for
Uniform Resource Locator. It points to a resource on the World Wide
Web. For example:
https://www.javatpoint.com/java-tutorial

17
Con…
A URL contains many information:
1. Protocol: In this case, http is the protocol.
2. Server name or IP Address: In this case, www.javatpoint.com is the server
name.
3. Port Number: It is an optional attribute. If we write
http//ww.javatpoint.com:80/sonoojaiswal/ , 80 is the port number. If port
number is not mentioned in the URL, it returns -1.
4. File Name or directory name: In this case, index.jsp is the file name.

18
Con…
Constructors of Java URL class
URL(String protocol, String host, int port, String file)
Creates an instance of a URL from the given protocol, host, port number, and file.

Java DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket classes are used for
connection-less socket programming using the UDP instead of TCP.
Datagram
Datagrams are collection of information sent from one device to another
device via the established network.
 When the datagram is sent to the targeted device, there is no assurance
that it will reach to the target device safely and completely.
 It may get damaged or lost in between.
 Likewise, the receiving device also never know if the datagram received
is damaged or not.
