Help in socket programming

Question

Actually my client and server ,both are running on same m/c.
client code is
Socket s1;
try{
s1 = new Socket("localhost",5678);
catch(Exception e){}
Server Code is
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
while(true) {
     Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
     InetAddress inetAddress = socket.getInetAddress();
     new Thread(new SocketNode(socket)).start();
where constructor for SocketNode is like this :-
public
SocketNode(Socket socket) {
this.socket = socket;
try {
ois = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
catch(Exception e) {
cat.error("Could not open ObjectInputStream to "+socket, e);
It throws exception in opening object input stream.
Could anybody suggest the possible reasons for it.
error is something like this :-
ERROR [main] Logger.SocketNode (<init>:35) - Could not open ObjectInputStream to Socket[addr=/127.0.0.1,port=1800,localport=5678]
java.net.SocketException: Connection reset by peer: JVM_recv in socket input stream read
at java.net.SocketInputStream.socketRead0(Native Method)
at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.read(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.readFully(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readShort(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readStreamHeader(Unknown Source)
at java.io.ObjectInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)
at Logger.SocketNode.<init>(SocketNode.java:32)
at Logger.SocketServer.main(SocketServer.java:40)
I will be really thankful, if anybody can help in this regards

Hi Neetika,
Your error is telling that
your client program has
teminated before server
could create an ObjectInput
Stream. So, for this you KEEP
your client program
alive for some time( So that
socket object in client side
is not swapped out by Garbage
collector ).
and then you will not get above error.
cheers!
