Server Socket Authentication
How can i use some kind of authentication when some requests a socket connection to my server socket. What can i do to prevent everybody and anybody from getting a connection to it, only say someone with a specified user/password can be granted a connection.
- Thanks
You can't, not in the terms you stated.
To prevent someone from connecting to a socket, something must filter requests before they get to the socket. So for instance I could set up a web server solutions that proxies requests once the user is logged in - but obviously then anyone at all can connect to the web server.
I could set up a firewall that only allows packets through that come from specific IPs. This does mean that the users must have fixed (fixed range) IPs. Not everyone does. But that wouldn't use a user/password combo for verification. That would have to be done by something else.
There are several security forums so if you just want to do security (which involves letting someone connect to some socket) then you might post the question to one of those for an answer to that question.

Reading text from server socket stream
I have a basic cd input program i've been trying to figure out the following problem for a while now, the user enters the artist and title etc and then a DOM (XML) file is created in memory this is then sent to the server. The server then echos back the results which is later printed on a html page by reading the replys from the server line by line.
The server must be run it listens for clients connecting the clients connect and send DOM documents through the following jsp code.
<%@page import="java.io.*"%>
<%@page import="java.net.*"%>
<%@page import="javax.xml.parsers.*"%>

I'm suppose to modify the commented sections labled with #.
#1,2 are correct but i have doubts on the 3rd and 4th modification.
for #3 i changed so i serializes to the socket not to the "out" object:
from
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(out, format);
to
XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, format);
with "out" it prints out some of the results entered but it just hangs i'm thinking it might be the while loop that i added in #4. If i changed it to serialize the socket XMLSerializer serializer = new XMLSerializer(writer, format); it doesn't print out nothing at all; just a blank screen where it hangs.
I can post the rest of the code (server thats in java and cdinput.html) but since i want to keep my post short and if required i'll post it later on i also omitted some of the code where it creates the DOM textnodes etc to keep my post short.On your previous thread, why did you say the server was using http POST and application/xml content type when it quite obviously isn't, but a direct socket communication that abuses XML comments for message end delimiters?
The comments imply you need to wait for "<!--QUIT-->" on a line by itself, but your loop is waiting for "QUIT".

Can't open HTTP server socket on port 50000 in dispatcher
We get the following message in the console_log for the dispatcher.
ID000544: Error starting service http. Can't start the service due to java.io.IO
Exception: Can't open HTTP server socket on port 50000
[ServiceManager]: ID000544: Error starting service http. Can't start the service

this errors occurs when the port http 50000 is already taken. Please could you check if this port on your machine is free or an other dispacther instance is already started on same machine. You can change the port in sap j2ee config tool (dispatcher-> services->http)

Can't connect to my server socket using external IP
Hi I'm very new to Java programming, and I'm learning all the core things I need to understand so that I can make a simple networked game using a command-line server and applet clients. I tried the networking tutorial and it worked perfectly on my machine.
However, it only works if I supply the client with my INTERNAL IP. When I give it my EXTERNAL IP it cannot connect to the server socket. The error thrown is a IOException.
The code:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class KnockKnockClient {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Socket kkSocket = null;
PrintWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
try {
kkSocket = new Socket("192.168.2.3", 4444);
out = new PrintWriter(kkSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(kkSocket.getInputStream()));
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Don't know about host.");
System.exit(1);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for the connection.");
System.exit(1);
BufferedReader stdIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String fromServer;
String fromUser;
while ((fromServer = in.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("Server: " + fromServer);
if (fromServer.equals("Bye."))
break;
fromUser = stdIn.readLine();
if (fromUser != null) {
System.out.println("Client: " + fromUser);
out.println(fromUser);
out.close();
in.close();
stdIn.close();
kkSocket.close();
}The code works fine with my internal IP (192.168.2.3) but not my external IP (86.3.51.171). Any ideas about how to fix it?Not quite sure I understand. Do you use the external IP with clients
from the external network or with clients from the internal network?
But regardless, I assume your Java code is correct since it works
on the internal network. Try this command:
telnet 192.168.2.3 4444
from the internal network. I expect it to show "Server: ...", whatever the
server sends. If this works, it means we can indeed use telnet to
test connectivity. Now do:
telnet 86.3.51.171 4444
from the machine that gives you problems. If this does not work
(connection lost or something like this), it means your Java code is OK
and you need to do some configuration at your router.
If this works, which I doubt, I am on the wrong track. -

FU Ant task failure: java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: could not close client/server socket
We sometimes see this failure intermitently when using the FlexUnit Ant task to run tests in a CI environment. The Ant task throws this exception:

Thanks,
TrevorI am not sure if this information will help everyone, but here goes...
For us, these problems with FlexUnit tests crashing the Flash Player appear to be related to couple of factors. Recently, we moved up from Flex 3.2 to Flex 4.1 as our development baseline. Many people complained that their development environment (Flash Builder, etc.) was much more unstable. Apparently, 4.1 produces SWFs that require more memory to run than 3.2 does? Anyway, we still had Flash Player 10.1 as our runtime baseline. Apparently, that version of the player was not as capable of running larger FlexUnit test SWFs, and would crash (as I posted months earlier). I upgraded to the latest 10.3 standalone player versions, and the crashes have now ceased. It would be nice to know exactly what was causing the crashes, but memory management (or lack of) is my best guess.
So, if you are seeing these issues, try upgrading to the latest Flash Player version.

How to detect client socket shutdowns in server socket
Hi,
Hoping to get some help with this. I am writing this program that implements a socket server that accepts a single client socket (from a third-party system). This server receives messages from another program and writes them to the client socket. It does not read anything back from the client. However, the client (which I have no control over) disconnects and reconnects to my server at random intervals. My issue is I cannot detect when the client has disconnected (normally or due to a network failure), hence am unable to accept a fresh connection from the client. Here's my code for the server.
ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
Socket clientSocket = null;
PrintWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
try{
if (serverSocket == null){
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(4511);
clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Accepted client request ... ");
out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()));
System.out.println("Input / Output streams intialized ...");
while (true){
System.out.println("Is Client Socket Closed : " + clientSocket.isClosed());
System.out.println("Is Client Socket Connected : " + clientSocket.isConnected());
System.out.println("Is Client Socket Bound : " + clientSocket.isBound());
System.out.println("Is Client Socket Input Shutdown : " + clientSocket.isInputShutdown());
System.out.println("Is Client Socket Output Shutdown : " + clientSocket.isOutputShutdown());
System.out.println("Is Server Socket Bound : " + serverSocket.isBound());
System.out.println("Is Server Socket Closed : " + serverSocket.isClosed());
messageQueue = new MessageQueue(messageQueueDir+"/"+messageQueueFile);
//get Message from Queue Head (also removes it)
message = getQueueMessage(messageQueue);
//format and send to Third Party System
if (message != null){
out.println(formatMessage(message));
System.out.println("Sent to Client... ");
//sleep
System.out.println("Going to sleep 5 sec");
Thread.sleep(5000);
System.out.println("Wake up ...");
}catch(IOException ioe){
System.out.println("initSocketServer::IOException : " + ioe.getMessage());
}catch(Exception e){
System.out.println("initSocketServer::Exception : " + e.getMessage());
}I never use the client's inputstream to read, although I have declared it here. After the client is connected (it enters the while loop), it prints the following. These values stay the same even after the client disconnects.
Is Client Socket Closed : false
Is Client Socket Connected : true
Is Client Socket Bound : true
Is Client Socket Input Shutdown : false
Is Client Socket Output Shutdown : false
Is Server Socket Bound : true
Is Server Socket Closed : false
So, basically I am looking for a condition that detects that the client is no longer connected, so that I can bring serverSocket.accept() and in and out initializations within the while loop.
Appreciate much, thanks.Crossposted and answered.

Can i run UDP client and UDP server socket program in the same pc ?
hi all.
when i execute my UDP client socket program and UDP server socket program in the same pc ,
It's will shown the error msg :
"Address already in use: Cannot bind"
but if i run UDP client socket program in the remote pc and UDP server socket program run in local pc , it's will success.
anybody know what's going on ?
any help will be appreciated !bobby92 wrote:
i have use a specified port for UDP server side , and for client define the server port "DatagramSocket clientSocket= new DatagramSocket(Server_PORT);"Why? The port you provide here is not the target port. It's the local port you listen on. That's only necessary when you want other hosts to connect to you (i.e. when you're acting as a server).
The server should be using that constructor, the client should not be specifying a port.
so when i start the udp server code to listen in local pc , then when i start UDP client code in local pc ,i will get the error "Address already in use: Cannot bind"Because your client tries to bind to the same port that the server already bound to. -
Problems Reading SSL server socket data stream using readByte()
Hi I'm trying to read an SSL server socket stream using readByte(). I need to use readByte() because my program acts an LDAP proxy (receives LDAP messages from an LDAP client then passes them onto an actual LDAP server. It works fine with normal LDAP data streams but once an SSL data stream is introduced, readByte just hangs! Here is my code.....
help!!! anyone?... anyone?
1. SSL Socket is first read into " InputStream input"
public void run()
Authorization auth = new Authorization();
try {
InputStream input = client.getInputStream();
while (true)
{ StandLdapCommand command;
try
command = new StandLdapCommand(input);
Authorization t = command.get_auth();
if (t != null )
auth = t;
catch( SocketException e )
{ // If socket error, drop the connection
Message.Info( "Client connection closed: " + e );
close( e );
break;
catch( EOFException e )
{ // If socket error, drop the connection
Message.Info( "Client connection close: " + e );
close( e );
break;
catch( Exception e )
//Way too many of these to trace them!
Message.Error( "Command not processed due to exception");
close( e );
break;
//continue;
processor.processBefore(auth, command);
try
Thread.sleep(40); //yield to other threads
catch(InterruptedException ie) {}
catch (Exception e)
close(e);
2 Then data is sent to an intermediate function
from this statement in the function above: command = new StandLdapCommand(input);
public StandLdapCommand(InputStream in) throws IOException
message = LDAPMessage.receive(in);
analyze();
Then finally, the read function where it hangs at "int tag = (int)din.readByte(); "
public static LDAPMessage receive(InputStream is) throws IOException
* LDAP Message Format =
* 1. LBER_SEQUENCE -- 1 byte
* 2. Length -- variable length = 3 + 4 + 5 ....
* 3. ID -- variable length
* 4. LDAP_REQ_msg -- 1 byte
* 5. Message specific structure -- variable length
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(is);
int tag = public static LDAPMessage receive(InputStream is) throws IOException
* LDAP Message Format =
* 1. LBER_SEQUENCE -- 1 byte
* 2. Length -- variable length = 3 + 4 + 5 ....
* 3. ID -- variable length
* 4. LDAP_REQ_msg -- 1 byte
* 5. Message specific structure -- variable length
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(is);
int tag = (int)din.readByte(); // sequence tag// sequence tag
...I suspect you are actually getting an Exception and not tracing the cause properly and then doing a sleep and then getting another Exception. Never ever catch an exception without tracing what it actually is somewhere.
Also I don't know what the sleep is supposed to be for. You will block in readByte() until something comes in, and that should be enough yielding for anybody. The sleep is just literally a waste of time. -
Server requires authentication - How do I program for this?
Hello,
I'm testing out a webpage I have created that will be used to send email. I have DSL service...just recently subscribed. Previously I had Dial up. The server at that time didn't require authentication, but now that I have DSL it does. I'm a bit lost as to how to update my program (I've included the snippet in the post), so that it will run correctly. I am having some difficulty.
My program looked like this :
String POP3 = "pop.windstream.net";
String SMTP = "smtp.windstream.net";
// Specify the SMTP host
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(POP3, SMTP);
// Create a mail session
Session ssn = Session.getInstance(props, null);
ssn.setDebug(true);
//...html to make up the body of the message
// set the from information
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress(emailaddress, fromName);
// Set the to information
InternetAddress to = new InternetAddress(EmailAddress2, toName);
// Create the message
Message msg = new MimeMessage(ssn);
msg.setFrom(from);
msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
msg.setSubject(emailsubject);
msg.setContent(body, "text/html");
Transport.send(msg);
//.... I did some research already, and have looked at some other forum posts. The one thing I have noted when I run my program is that the dos prompt for tomcat is showing this:
*DEBUG: getProvider() returning javax.mail.Provider[TRANSPORT,smpt,com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPTransport,Sun Microsystem, Inc]*
DEBUG SMTP: useEhlo true, useAuth false
DEBUG: SMTPTransport trying to connect to hose "localhost", port 25
My ISP provider, Windstream, assures me that port 25 is NOT blocked. Also, I've noticed that useAuth is set to false, whereas the posts I have been looking at say true. It would make sense to me for it to be set to true in my case, since my server requires authentication. But how do I do that?
I found this bit of information from another person's post :
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
you also need an Authenticator like this
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator() {
private PasswordAuthentication pwdAuth = new PasswordAuthentication("myaccount", "mypassword");
protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
pwdAuth;
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);*
Post located at http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=43&threadID=537461
From the FAQ section of JavaMail
Q: When I try to send a message I get an error like SMTPSendFailedException: 530, Address requires authentication.
A: You need to authenticate to your SMTP server. The package javadocs for the com.sun.mail.smtp package describe several methods to do this. The easiest is often to replace the call Transport.send(msg); with
String protocol = "smtp";
props.put("mail." + protocol + ".auth", "true");
Transport t = session.getTransport(protocol);
try {
t.connect(username, password);
t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
} finally {
t.close();
You'll have to supply the appropriate username and password needed by your mail server. Note that you can change the protocol to "smtps" to make a secure connection over SSL.
One thing I have noticed in the majority of the posts is that useAuth in the tomcat dos prompt should be set to true, and not false. Mine is coming up as false. Also, I think it should be set to true because the ISP's server requires authentication for sending and receiving email.
Can you please provide me with some input on how to update my program so it will run?
Thank you in advance:)Thank you for replying.
Per your advice, I made these changes to my code:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
props.put("mail.pop3.host", POP3);
props.put("mail.smtp.host", SMTP);
Session ssn = Session.getInstance(props, null); The props.setProperty("mail.smtp.auth","true"); is something I found previously to posting my question. I'm assuming this is the line of code that has changed useAuth from false to true...is that correct?
I'm most pleased to report that with the changes made above, my program works! But is my code good? As soon as I start taking on clients, I will need my code to be reliable, and it needs to work with Dial Up and DSL connections.
With regards to your question about how I had found the authentication code but hadn't used it. Well, I did try it, again, this was previous to posting my question, and the compiler couldn't compile the program because of this statement - pwdAuth;
I also tried this code I had found in the JavaMail FAQ section -
String protocol = "smtp";
props.put("mail." + protocol + ".auth", "true");
Transport t = session.getTransport(protocol);
try {
t.connect(username, password);
t.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
} finally {
t.close();
}But according to the compiler, t.connect(username,password); was not an available method. I checked the documentation and found that to be true. Do you have any suggestions? Looking into the documentation I find that there are 3 methods called connect that are inherited by the Transport class from javax.mail.Service.
connect()
connect(java.lang.String host, int port, java.lang.String user, java.lang.String password)
connect(java.lang.String host, java.lang.String user, java.lang.String password)
I would opt to try the third connect method, but what would I put for host?
Thank you for helping me with this issue, I'm not an expert on using the JavaMail package, at least not yet, and I appreciate the help you have provided. -
Server Socket does not read data input stream
Hi all,
I am very newbie to Java Network programming with sockets and multi-threading.
But I am obliged to develop a chat system written in Applets which can be placed on the website and used by visitors who come to my website.
In order to understand this, I have tested a basic web chat program I downloaded from the Internet which use sockets and multi-threadings. The program work fine, no bugs at all at both compilation and run time. I noticed that all three streams for Client side (i.e. first one is input stream used receiving data from User; the second one is socket input stream used for receiving data from Server socket, and the third is socket output stream used for writing data to server socket) were established. And the same, two socket streams (input & output) for Server side were also connected when running program giving right port number and IP address of the server.
The problem is both server and client sockets do not read data using the following stream classes:
1. DataStreamInput: I use input.readUTF() method
2. or BufferedReader: I use input.readLine() method
The example of the codes are below:
private BufferedReader input = null;
private PrintWriter output = null;
private Socket socket = null;
public void open() throws IOException
{ input = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
System.out.println("Server socket input stream was created, and");
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Server socket output stream was created");
public void run()
{ System.out.println("Server Thread " + clientPort + " running.");
while (true)
{ try
System.out.println("Server is reading data from Client, wait...");
String fromClient = input.readLine();
System.out.println("Server received a message on " + clientPort + ".");
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println(clientPort + " ERROR reading: " + ioe.getMessage());
server.remove(clientPort);
stop();
The problem is at the line: String fromClient = input.readLine(); in the run() method? What is wrong with the codes above?
Note: I also try to use original codes which use readUTF() method in DataStreamInput class instead using readLine() in BufferedReader. Both methods dont read data from inputstream socket?
I very appreciate any help/advice from experienced developers.
Best regardsHi,
Yes. The readLine() method hangs! After the test, the execuation of the program is stopped at the line of readLine() method; it does not pass it?
There is no problem with writing to Server socket. After the test, the program pass through flush() method. Here is the code for writing to sever socket within ChatClient (client side socket) class:
private BufferedReader input = null;
private PrintWriter output = null;
public ChatClient(String serverName, int serverPort)
{ System.out.println("Establishing connection. Please wait ...");
try
{ socket = new Socket(serverName, serverPort);
System.out.println("Connected: " + socket);
start();
catch(UnknownHostException uhe)
{ System.out.println("Host unknown: " + uhe.getMessage()); }
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println("Unexpected exception: " + ioe.getMessage()); }
public void start() throws IOException
{ input = new BufferedReader (new
InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("Client User input stream was created,");
output = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
System.out.println("Client Socket output stream was established, and");
if (thread == null)
{ client = new ChatClientThread(this, socket);
thread = new Thread(this);
thread.start();
public void run()
while (thread != null) {
String fromUser;
try{
while((fromUser = input.readLine())!= null)
System.out.println("Client wasreading a data from User, and");
output.println(fromUser);
output.flush();
System.out.println("Client has written a data to Server");
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println("Sending to server error: " + ioe.getMessage());
stop();
etc.
Here is a piece of codes for reading data from the Client Socket in the ChatServer Class (Server Side socket):
public void run()
{ System.out.println("Server Thread " + clientPort + " running.");
while (true)
{ try
{ //server.handle(clientPort, input.readLine());
System.out.println("Server is reading data from Client, wait...");
String fromUser = input.readLine();
//while((fromUser = input.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println("Server received a message on " + clientPort + ".");
catch(IOException ioe)
{ System.out.println(clientPort + " ERROR reading: " + ioe.getMessage());
server.remove(clientPort);
stop();
etc. Please advice why the readLine() method hangs; does not read data from the input stream received from the CLIENT? -
Problem trying to read an SSL server socket stream using readByte().
Hi I'm trying to read an SSL server socket stream using readByte(). I need to use readByte() because my program acts an LDAP proxy (receives LDAP messages from an LDAP client then passes them onto an actual LDAP server. It works fine with normal LDAP data streams but once an SSL data stream is introduced, readByte just hangs! Here is my code.....
help!!! anyone?... anyone?
1. SSL Socket is first read into " InputStream input"
public void run()
Authorization auth = new Authorization();
try {
InputStream input = client.getInputStream();
while (true)
{ StandLdapCommand command;
try
command = new StandLdapCommand(input);
Authorization t = command.get_auth();
if (t != null )
auth = t;
catch( SocketException e )
{ // If socket error, drop the connection
Message.Info( "Client connection closed: " + e );
close( e );
break;
catch( EOFException e )
{ // If socket error, drop the connection
Message.Info( "Client connection close: " + e );
close( e );
break;
catch( Exception e )
//Way too many of these to trace them!
Message.Error( "Command not processed due to exception");
close( e );
break;
//continue;
processor.processBefore(auth, command);
try
Thread.sleep(40); //yield to other threads
catch(InterruptedException ie) {}
catch (Exception e)
close(e);
2 Then data is sent to an intermediate function
from this statement in the function above: command = new StandLdapCommand(input);
public StandLdapCommand(InputStream in) throws IOException
message = LDAPMessage.receive(in);
analyze();
Then finally, the read function where it hangs at "int tag = (int)din.readByte(); "
public static LDAPMessage receive(InputStream is) throws IOException
* LDAP Message Format =
* 1. LBER_SEQUENCE -- 1 byte
* 2. Length -- variable length = 3 + 4 + 5 ....
* 3. ID -- variable length
* 4. LDAP_REQ_msg -- 1 byte
* 5. Message specific structure -- variable length
DataInputStream din = new DataInputStream(is);
int tag = (int)din.readByte(); // sequence tag// sequence tagI suspect you are actually getting an Exception and not tracing the cause properly and then doing a sleep and then getting another Exception. Never ever catch an exception without tracing what it actually is somewhere.
Also I don't know what the sleep is supposed to be for. You will block in readByte() until something comes in, and that should be enough yielding for anybody. The sleep is just literally a waste of time. -
No exception is thrown when my server socket dies
I have a server application running on sunOS 5.7.
To this I have both Windows and SunOS clients connected via TCP/IP. (Server built with jdk 1.2.2 and client with 1.3.0)
If the Server socket dies an exception is thrown in the windows clients but not in the sunOS client.
I need the exception to be thrown in the sunOS as well.
Is there anybody who knows how to get this done?
Thanks in advance.
/HenrikYou could poll the connection to see if its there.
If you want the client to register the event then have your client create a sort of listener of your own when it connects. By 'sort of listener' I mean extend the thread class and have it check the connection is not null every n seconds. If it is null then raise the exception yourself.
Would this do it?

Radius server web authentication using ISE
Hi,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a guide to implement radius server web authentication using ISE?
I need this to be layer 3 Web Auth with all authentication requests coming from the wireless anchor controller, therefore don't think I can implement central web auth on ISE as detailed in the user guide as its layer 2 and auth requests come from the foreign controller.
The following link explains "Radius Server Web Authentication" using ACS. I need to find something similar for ISE - http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wlan-security/69340-web-auth-config.html
Thanks,Hi,
Please check these:

Should i create a client and a server socket in a same application
Greetings,
In which situation sould i have a server socket ? and in which situation should i have a client socket ?and in which situation should i have both?
I 'm making a app. who receives info (like alarms ) from a automation machine and also that same app. as a scheduler who send commands according to dates to the automation machine.
Now the automation machine is programmed like a socket tcp/ip server who is always on and the app. is a client.
Every time there's an alarm the machine sends me the info and i put it in a mysql database.
Every time there's an event programmed the app. sends a string to the machine.
The question is that i can't maintain that socket always connected, Sometimes disconnets.
I was thinking of making the change of creating in both sides a server and a client, so that, for example, in the app. the client woul d handle the event msgs and the server would accecpt connections with alarms from the automaition machine.
Since i'm a newbie in Java could somebody give me some tips, please?
ThanksThanks Peter....
But i already do that....
I have a thread who handles the connection management.
If by some reaseon the connection is lost the thread reconnects it.
My problem is that sometimes it reconnects every second, and i loose info provided by the automatian machine.
The best thing to have it would be a socket listener, but Java does have any.
Is there any API that does a socket listener?
