I had same problem and the problem was that I was not closing socket object.After using socket.close(); problem solved. This code works for me.
ClientDemo.java
public class ClientDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException,
IOException {
Socket socket = new Socket("127.0.0.1", 55286);
OutputStreamWriter os = new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
os.write("Santosh Karna");
os.flush();
socket.close();
}
}
and ServerDemo.java
public class ServerDemo {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
System.out.println("server is started");
ServerSocket serverSocket= new ServerSocket(55286);
System.out.println("server is waiting");
Socket socket=serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Client connected");
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String str=reader.readLine();
System.out.println("Client data: "+str);
socket.close();
serverSocket.close();
}
}
