Please help with this part of error...

Question

Hi all,
Please help me with this error. What i was trying to do is that when Server send a message to client, it print out on the screen what is sent to Client. For instance, if the Message is called FirstMessage sent to Client, the message FirstClient will display from server console with a specific message such as "First Message from server to client: first Message") and so on. I tried to implement the below code but when compiled it i got error message as follows :
C:\Java\bin>javac QuoteServer.java
QuoteServer.java:60: <identifier> expected
out.close();
^
QuoteServer.java:61: <identifier> expected
in.close();
^
QuoteServer.java:62: <identifier> expected
clientSocket.close();
^
QuoteServer.java:63: <identifier> expected
myserverSocket.close();
^

Her is the Server side socket...
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class QuoteServer
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
ServerSocket myserverSocket = null;
try
myserverSocket = new ServerSocket(4998);
} catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println("Could not listen on port: 4998.");
                    System.exit(1);
Socket clientSocket = null;
try
clientSocket = myserverSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println("Accept failed.");
                    System.exit(1);
               PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
               BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
               new InputStreamReader(
               clientSocket.getInputStream()));
               String inputLine, outputLine;
               QuoteProtocol QP = new QuoteProtocol();
               outputLine = QP.processInput(null);
               Date current = new Date();
               out.println(outputLine);
               String ToClient;
               while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null )
                         outputLine = QP.processInput(inputLine);
                         out.println(outputLine);
                         System.out.println(inputLine);
                         System.out.println(current.toString());
                         /* additional..if doesn't work delete this code*/
                         while ((ToClient = in.readLine()) != null)
                              System.out.println("Server: " + ToClient);
                              if (ToClient.equals("Bye."))
                              break;
               /* delete up to break*/
                    if (outputLine.equals("Bye."))
                         break;
out.close();
in.close();
clientSocket.close();
myserverSocket.close();
Could someone with the expertise advise me what shall i do?
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the quick reply...
Here is the code with correct open/close braces...
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class QuoteServer
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
ServerSocket myserverSocket = null;
try
myserverSocket = new ServerSocket(4998);
} catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println("Could not listen on port: 4998.");
                    System.exit(1);
Socket clientSocket = null;
try
clientSocket = myserverSocket.accept();
} catch (IOException e)
                    System.err.println("Accept failed.");
                    System.exit(1);
               PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
               BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
               new InputStreamReader(
               clientSocket.getInputStream()));
               String inputLine, outputLine;
               QuoteProtocol QP = new QuoteProtocol();
               outputLine = QP.processInput(null);
               Date current = new Date();
               out.println(outputLine);
               String ToClient;
               while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null )
                         outputLine = QP.processInput(inputLine);
                         out.println(outputLine);
                         System.out.println(inputLine);
                         System.out.println(current.toString());
                         /* additional..if doesn't work delete this code*/
                         while ((ToClient = in.readLine()) != null)
                              System.out.println("Server: " + ToClient);
                              if (ToClient.equals("Bye."))
                              break;
               /* delete up to break*/
                    if (outputLine.equals("Bye."))
                         break;
out.close();
in.close();
clientSocket.close();
myserverSocket.close();
Line 60 starting from out.close(); onwards.
Please help..
Thanks a lot.
