100% CPU Utilisation while reading from socket

Question

I have writted a ServerSocket program to read data from ethernet client bridge. client-bridge is a system which converts serial data to TCP packet and vice versa. I can read from the client bridge only through creating a server socket and waiting for the client bridge to make a client socket connection (ServerSocket.accept() method.
The problem that I m facing is that, the client bridge is creating connection only once. I have created an infinite loop which keeps on reading from the socket. The performance of the application goes down drastically (100% CPU utilisation through task manager) when this application is run. Is there a better way of reading data from the client bridge. The client bridge is not in our control and the server can only wait for the client to make connection.
Please help. Thanking you all in anticipation.

Answer 1

If I close the client socket will the client create a new socket to
transmit data or it depends on the client application.
I have also tried creating a new socket connection for
reading each frame of the protocol. but the client
creates only one socket. What might be the problem?I bet it depends on the client app because your server app only waits for a connection from the client. So it's the client that initiates the connection. When you disconnect the client socket then you will have to wait for another client request. what you can do is to stay connected (unless of course client disconnects itself) and just keep on reading from the client socket.
