Question

Yo all
Its the first time i've ever seen this, can any of you help me please!
I have an apache http server running, and i've copied an applet accross to the server with its html file(obviously!), i can connect to the java server through the applet 100% from the local machine, but when i go accross to the windows machine with jre 1.4 installed, i cant seem to connect! there is no firewall software running and i can telnet into the port,(it used to work)and now i get the following error:

Answer 1

here is where you are sending the object through the sockets
public synchronized boolean MessageLoop(Object sendObject) {
boolean returnResult = false;
resultObject = null;
iROCMessage inMessage;
iROCMessage outMessage = new iROCMessage();
int retries = 0;
while (retries < MAX_RETRIES) {
try {
switch (currentState) {
case iROCStateDefs.ROC_INITIATE_STATE:
control.iROCDebugLog("CONNECT STATE");
iROCMessage message = new iROCMessage();
iROCLoginInfo loginInfo = new iROCLoginInfo();
loginInfo.setName(this.name);
loginInfo.setPassword(this.password);
message.setObject(loginInfo);
message.setCommand(iROCMessageDefs.ROC_CONNECT);
/* Send the information to the server */
writeObject(message);
control.iROCDebugLog("Reading the server object");
Object result = readObject();
control.iROCDebugLog("Testing server response");
if (((iROCMessage)result).getCommand() == iROCMessageDefs.ROC_ACK) {
iROCLoginInfo loginStuff = (iROCLoginInfo)((iROCMessage)result).getObject();
if(loginStuff.getAdminRights()){
iROCMainConsole.adminItem.setEnabled(true);
iROCMainConsole.controlMenu.setEnabled(true);
}else{
iROCMainConsole.adminItem.setEnabled(false);
iROCMainConsole.controlMenu.setEnabled(false);
control.iROCDebugLog("Account info authorised...");
currentState = iROCStateDefs.ROC_REQUEST_COMMAND_STATE;
returnResult = true;
} else {
control.iROCDebugLog("Account failed...");
break;
case iROCStateDefs.ROC_REQUEST_COMMAND_STATE:
/**iROCMainPanel.setDescription("Sending Request to server...");*/
//iROCStatsMessage sendingObject = (iROCStatsMessage) sendObject;
//receiveRequestID = sendingObject.getObjectType();
control.iROCNotifyState("Sending Request to server...");
control.iROCDebugLog("REQUEST COMMAND STATE");
outMessage.setCommand(iROCMessageDefs.ROC_COMMAND);
outMessage.setMessage(this.request);
outMessage.setObject(sendObject);
writeObject(outMessage);
control.iROCNotifyState("Request Sent...");
inMessage = (iROCMessage)readObject();
if (inMessage.getCommand() == iROCMessageDefs.ROC_ACK) {
currentState = iROCStateDefs.ROC_RECEIVE_RESULT_STATE;
if (MessageLoop(null) == true) //Call once more to get the result
returnResult = true;
} else {
control.iROCLog(">>Server Denied Request : ");
break;
case iROCStateDefs.ROC_RECEIVE_RESULT_STATE:
control.iROCNotifyState("Receiving data from server...");
control.iROCDebugLog("RECEIVE RESULT STATE");
inMessage = (iROCMessage)readObject();
if (inMessage.getCommand() == iROCMessageDefs.ROC_RESULT) {
resultObject = inMessage.getObject();
outMessage.setCommand(iROCMessageDefs.ROC_ACK);
writeObject(outMessage);
currentState = iROCStateDefs.ROC_REQUEST_COMMAND_STATE;
returnResult = true;
control.iROCNotifyState("Data received...");
break;
case iROCStateDefs.ROC_TERMINATE_STATE:
control.iROCNotifyState("Disconnecting from server...");
control.iROCDebugLog("Sending Disconnect to server");
outMessage.setCommand(iROCMessageDefs.ROC_DISCONNECT);
writeObject(outMessage);
break;
case iROCStateDefs.ROC_ERROR_STATE:
control.iROCDebugLog("Error in communications encountered");
break;
retries=MAX_RETRIES;
catch (Exception e) {
returnResult = false;
control.iROCDebugLog("Retrying after failed send/receive - "+retries);
control.iROCNotifyState("Error receiving/sending data, retrying - "+retries);
/*iROCMainPanel.setDescription("Error receiving/sending data, retrying - "+retries);*/
retries++;
return returnResult;
now this exact server and client is running on a Unix ibm ips80 server and it works 100%
