*Step by Step*

Question

I've calmed down now, and I'm gonna ask step by step:
1)Chat Server:
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Server{
     public static void main(String [] args){
          ServerSystem ssys = new ServerSystem();
          ssys.ServerMethod();
class ServerSystem{
     void ServerMethod(){
          try{
               ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(27700);
               for(;;){
                    Socket client = ss.accept();
                    ClientThread ct = new ClientThread();
                    ct.start();
          }catch(Exception e){
class ClientThread extends Thread{
     public void run(){
          try{
               System.out.println("Client Connected!");
          }catch(Exception e){
Did I make a good template for the beggining of a chat server? I have a feeling this isn't gonna work because of where the client variable is.
2) How and what is the best way to input a string into the command prompt? What's the best I/O to use for Strings AND Variables(short,int,long) so the Server could communicate similar to a MUD, where you can chat AND have a RPG kinda game(ints would be for health, damage, ect...)
3) Are there really easy ways to do this in Java?

Answer 1

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Client{
     public static void main(String [] args){
          try{
               Socket server = new Socket("127.0.0.1",27700);
               System.out.println("Connection Opened");
               InputStream in = server.getInputStream();
               OutputStream out = server.getOutputStream();
               s.close();
          }catch(UnknownHostException e){
               System.out.println("Host not found.");
               System.exit(0);
          }catch(IOException e){
               System.out.println("Error connecting to host.");
               System.exit(0);
}good start
you now need to do 2 things with in and out
out is gonna be easiest...
after you get the InputStream AND the OutputStream you need to have some way of getting information from you(the user) to "out".. try something like
boolean doit=true;
while(doit){
String toGo=System.in.readLine();
out.write(toGo.getBytes());
doit=!(toGo.equals("quit"));
out.close(); // dont close the socket directly as "in" might still be using ityou might try something similar in the send() method in the server, only dont get the String from System.in.., just use whats passed in the method call
