Client Side applet connection

Question

I have a server-side applet (ThreadedLoanCalcServer) and want my applet (LoanCalcClient) connects on the same port from the client side. All CLASSes are in the same location.
java ThreadedLoanCalcServer 8080
8080 is port number I chose.
How do you make the connection?

Answer 1

I think I got a majority of them.
public void init(){
try {
socket = new Socket("myhostxyz",8765);
catch (UnknownHostException e){
MPLabel.setText("Unknown Host");
catch (IOException e){
MPLabel.setText("IO Exception: socket connection");
return;
bla ...
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
DecimalFormat money = new DecimalFormat("$###,###.00"); // $ format
String aString = null;
BufferedReader fromServer = null;
PrintWriter toServer = null;
bla ....
String str =
"INTEREST="+txtRat.getText()+"&"+"AMOUNT="+txtAmo.getText()+"&"+
"PERIOD="+txtTerm.getText()+"&"+"FREQUENCY="+Freq;
// send my str to the server
try {
toServer = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream(), true);
catch (IOException ex){
MPLabel.setText("IO Exception: PrintWriter");
toServer.println(str);
try {
fromServer = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
catch (IOException ex){
MPLabel.setText("IO Exception:BufferedReader");
// Receive the line from the server
String aString;
try {
aString = fromServer.readLine();
catch (IOException ex){
MPLabel.setText("IO Exception");
     StringTokenizer parser = new StringTokenizer(aString, "ERROR&");
bla ...
Thank you,
