Socket connections on LAN?

I am designing a java application which will have 100 clients and a database server over LAN. There is no application server, only core java is used to write the programming logic. Now, to read, update or write anything to the database a bare socket connection will be made by the client to the server over LAN. Please tell me is it safe to perform this kind of communication? Will the network connection sustain for a long time or there are many chances that it may break easily? In no case will I be able to use an application server. Can I design such an application that communicates through bare sockets with no protection as such?

If you use stream sockets your connection will survive for long periods of time. I have an application that connects to a mainframe by sockets and to Oracle using OCI (which uses sockets) that stays up for a week at a time, only stopping when the mainframe goes down for weekly maintenance. It recovers when the mainframe restarts by attempting to reconnect once a minute.
This said, you still should deal with the inevitable situation where the connection is lost due to network problems or aproblemon your server.

  • Periodic socket connection errors

    I am experiencing a periodic error when accessing a Servlet running under
              weblogic 6 sp2 on Windows 2000. Usually the second time my servlet is
              accessed I see the connection error and then periodically after that. Here
              is the stack trace:

  • Failed to open a socket connection to the Authentication Manager

    Hello,
    When I use utcapture command, I get the error *�Failed to open a socket connection to the Authentication Manager�*.
    SO: Solaris 10 8/07

    Thanks.

    Since the question was also posted to the sunray-users alias, see http://www.filibeto.org/pipermail/sunray-users/2007-December/008281.html for the answer. (Which currently seems to be that the Sun Ray auth daemon was not running.)

  • Socket connect slow in JDK 1.5?

    We recently began testing our Java Swing application with JDK 1.5, and we noticed that socket.connect()
    calls are taking several seconds to return, when before in 1.4 the calls returned immediately.
    Here is some sample code:
    Socket sock = new Socket();
    InetSocketAddress sockAddr = new InetSocketAddress(inAddress, portNum);
    sock.connect(sockAddr, 2000);
    What could be wrong? I've debugged the code and verified inAddress is an IP address,
    not a hostname.
    -Eric

    Here is the list of enhancements in JDK1.5.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/net/enhancements-1.5.0.html
    I wonder if any of them are having some effect in the slow connection.
    There are some network properties that you can tweak with. Did you try them?

  • Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed ?

    Is there any way to identify the particular socket connection is closed or not ?
    Any methods ???
    How can the program knows the connection is lost or some thing ...
    Is the socket throws some excpetions when there is no active connection ???
    namanc

    If you get an IOException when you try to use the socket, the connection was obviously closed.
    The correct way for an application to know if the socket was closed is:
    1) the server sends a message indicating that the socket should be closed
    2) the client closes the socket itself

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build a chat server in Java on Linux OS.I've created basically 2 classes in the client program.The first one shows the login window.When we enter the Login ID & password & click on the ok button,the data is sent to the server for verification.If the login is true,the second class is invoked,which displays the messenger window.This class again access the server
    for collecting the IDs of the online persons.But this statement which reads from the server causes an exception in the program.If we invoke the second class independently(ie not from 1st class) then there is no problem & the required data is read from the server.Can anyone please help me in getting this program right.I'm working on a p4 machine with JDK1.4.

    You're connecting to the server twice. After you've successfully logged in, pass the Socket to the Messenger class.
    public class Messenger {
        Socket connect;

            Messenger mes = new Messenger(args[0]);

  • Problem with socket connection

    have my gps reciver connected to the usb port - i have a daemon gpsd running which makes data available on tcp port 2947 for querying. when i do telnet, it gives proper data.
    but when i open a socket connection using java, it does not print anything as output. actually telnet asks for an escape charatcer so i am sending "r" initially to the server but still the program does not print anything as output.
    here is my java code -
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.Socket;
    public class test2
    public static void main(String[] args)
    try
    Socket s = new Socket("localhost",2947);
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
    s.getOutputStream())),true);
    out.println("r");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));
    String line;
    while(true)
    line = in.readLine();
    System.out.println(line);
    catch (Exception e)
    or sometimes it even shows error as
    Exception in thread "main" java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument or cannot assign requested address
    at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method)
    and this is the output which i get on telnet -
    ot@localhost ~]# telnet localhost 2947
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    r

    $GPGSA,A,1,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,*32

    Actually the problem does not seem to be in the code because i tried some basic client server programs (without any gpsd etc in picture) and even they are not working in linux though they work perfectly in windows (on the same machine). In linux it shows exception
    My socket programs dont work in linux it shows error -
    ot@localhost winc]# java parser

  • Problem with socket connection through Java Embedding...

    We are trying to create a simple socket connection to a socket server through BPEL PM using the Java Embedding component.
    BPEL Process : Client makes an asynchronous request. Passes an input variable. The input variable is sent to the Server Program through a socket connection through the Java embedding component.
    Server: We are running a simple Socket Server program from command prompt.
    The code below works fine as long as we do not try to receive a response from the server (Commented Code).
    If we uncomment the code and try to receive a response, it refuses to create an instance for the BPEL Process. And sometimes restarts the BPEL Server.
    Client Code:
    String msg="NONE";
    try{
    org.w3c.dom.Element input = (org.w3c.dom.Element) getVariableData("inputVariable","payload","/client:clientProcessRequest/client:input");
    msg = input.getNodeValue();
    Socket clientsoc=new Socket("ServerIP",1000);
    PrintWriter out1=new PrintWriter(clientsoc.getOutputStream());
    out1.write(msg);
    out1.flush();
    BufferedReader cin1=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientsoc.getInputStream()));

  • Problem with socket connection in midp 2.0

    hello everyone.
    I'm new one in j2me and I am learning socket connection in j2me. I'm using basic socket,datagram example wich is come with sun java wireless toolkit 2.5. for it i wrote small socket server program on c# and tested it example on my pc and its working fine. also socket server from another computer via internet working fine. But when i instal this socket example into my phone on nokia n78 (Also on nokia 5800) it's not working didn't connect to socket server.. On phone I'm using wi-fi internet. Can anybody help me with this problem? I hear it's need to modify manifest file and set appreciate pressions like this
    MIDlet-Permissions: javax.microedition.io.Connector.socket,javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.write,javax.microedition.io.Connector.ssl,javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.read,javax.microedition.io.Connector.http,javax.microedition.io.Connector.https
    is it true?
    can anybody suggest me how can i solve this problem?
    where can I read full information about socket connection specifiecs in j2me?
    Thanks.

    Maybe this can be helpful:
    [http://download-llnw.oracle.com/javame/config/cldc/ref-impl/midp2.0/jsr118/index.html]
    you can check there the Datagram interface anda DatagramConnection interface and learn a little about that.
    If the client example runs fine in the wireless toolkit emulator, it should run the same way in your phone; i suggest to try to catch some exception that maybe is hapenning and display it on a Alert screen, this in the phone.

  • How to make a socket connection timeout infinity in Servlet doPost method.

    I want to redirect my System.out to a file on a remote server (running Apache Web Server and Apache Tomcat). For which I have created a file upload servlet.
    The connection is established only once with the servlet and the System.out is redirected to it. Everything goes fine if i keep sending data every 10 second.
    But it is required that the data can be sent to the servlet even after 1 or 2 days. The connection should remain open. I am getting java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out Exception as the socket timeout occurs.
    Can anyone guide me how to change the default timeout of the socket connection in my servlet class.
    Following is the coding to establish a connection with the Servlet.
    URL servletURL = new URL(mURL.getProtocol(), mURL.getHost(), port, getFileUploadServletName() );
    URLConnection mCon = servletURL.openConnection();
    mCon.setDoInput(true);
    mCon.setDoOutput(true);
    mCon.setUseCaches(false);
    mCon.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "multipart/form-data");
    In the Servlet Code I am just trying to read the input from the in that is the input stream.
    public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
    throws ServletException, IOException
    BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(req.getInputStream());
    byte [] content = new byte[1024];
    do
    read = in.read(content, 0, content.length);
    if (read > 0)
    out.write(content, 0, read);
    I have redirected the System.out to the required position.
    System.setOut(........);
    Can anyone guide me how to change the default timeout of the socket connection in my servlet class.

    I am aware of the setKeepAlive() method, but this can only used with the sockets. Here i am inside a servlet, have access to HTTPServletRequest and HTTPServletResponse and I don't know how to get access to the underlying sockets as the socket handling will be handled by the tomcat itself. If I am right there will be method in the apache tomcat 6.0.x to set this property. But till now I am not getting it.

  • Multiple clients on socket connection

    Hi!
    I understand that it is possible that multiple clients listen to one server (on the same port) and even write to it (then it should be a multi-threaded server).
    But i would like to refuse connectios, if one client is connected. How can I do that?
    In my case I have a (single threaded) server. Now one clients connects. The server waits to receive data from the client and answers, without ever closing the port. that works.
    Now if I connect with a second client, the openicng of the socket in the second client works fine, although the server does not seem to notice the second client. Communication is not possible between the server and the second client, and the server doesn't answer to the first client anymore, although he receives data from it.
    So, since the server does not seem to notice the second client (does not accept the connection) and I don't get an exception at the second client, what can I do?
    Thank you for your help!
    concerned Code (if you want to take a look at it):
    CLIENT:
    socket = new Socket(hostname, echo_port);
    SERVER:
    try
    ServerSocket waitingsocket = new ServerSocket(echo_port);
    try
         socket= waitingsocket.accept();
         System.out.println("Client connected");
         ReaderThread reader = new ReaderThread( this, socket );
         reader.start();          
    catch (Exception e)
    READER:
    public void run()
         while (true)
              try {
                   int bytesRead = inStream.read(inputBuffer,
                   0, inputBuffer.length);
                   readCallback.tcpUpdate(inputBuffer,bytesRead);
              catch (Exception oops)
                   readCallback.tcpUpdate(null,-1);
              

    Just to make sure this is clear: You can NOT have multiple clients on a given socket connection. You CAN have multiple clients connected to a particular port on a given server, but each client will be communicating with the server through a different of socket.
    The usual approach here is to set up a listening ServerSocket on the desired port, call accept() on it, then process the communication from the returned Socket object. This is usually done by spawning a new thread and allowing it to handle the socket communication, while the ServerSocket loops around to another accept() for the next communication.
    Here's an excellent intro to the concepts (the code is really ugly and poorly implemented, but it does a good job of explaining the overall concept). I used this as a starting point, and now (after a whole lot of development) have a pretty sweet extensible web server class that handles template expansion, etc... (I use this as a quick and dirty UI for some of my apps, instead of requiring the user to install a JSP container):

  • How can i reuse my existing socket connection

    Hi,
    this might sound basic, it probably is:
    As part of my larger project, i have to send and recieve data to multiple socket connections.
    The thing that happens is that everytime i send data, it seems that java is creating a new stream or something (code is multithreaded)
    so as i send 4 items of data, a bit like a chat program sending 4 statements, it creates 4 different streams, instead of using the same stream. therefore when i close the connection, i get:
    java.net.SocketException: Connection reset 4 times.
    i know why.. its because i have added the:
    Socket socket=new Socket(host, port);
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
    PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));
    bit in the same method with the
    out.println(THE DATA....);
    out.flush();
    The thing what i want to do is to create the connection one, and reuse the objects:
    out, in and socket
    to send / recieve the new data.
    please help me guys,
    thanks

    All the threads would be able to get the same reference to....
    class SocketWrapper {
         private final Object readLock = new Object();
         private final Object writeLock = new Object();
         // client side
        public SocketWrapper(String hostname, int port);
         // server side.
        public SocketWrapper(Socket);
         // send data
         public void send(Serializable object) throws IOException;
         // receive data. synchronized(writeLock);
         public Serializable getNext() throws IOException;
         // create a new socket as required, throw IllegalState if server side. synchronized(readLock)
         private void createNewSocket() throws IllegalStateException;
    }The send autoconnects as required. It then send on message/packet/object.
    The getNext autoconnects as required. It reads one message/packet/object and returns.
    This allows multiple threads to access the same socket. It allows data to be sent while a thread is blocking on a read. (Thus two locks)

  • Competition problem between Windows 8.1 and Windows 7 on Photosmart C5180 connected via LAN

    Hello everyone, I am writing because I need some advice / help on a problem last night while configuring a small network.
    The network is made up as follows:
    2 notebook: Windows 8.1 and Windows 7
    3 different printers:
    2 USB connected to the respective notebook,
    1 HP Photosmart C5180 network printer connected via LAN via a router.
    The situation is the following:
    both notebooks recognize the various printers and are able to send and print documents but,
    when the print command starts from both notebook SIMULTANEOUSLY or at a distance of a few seconds, the only document printed is ALWAYS the one sent from the notebook with WINDOWS 8.1. The other one submitted by WINDOWS 7 IS LOST without being reported.
    So if I ask of you is someone experienced in the print queues, print drivers, competition in the print jobs that can help me in solving this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hello cesco,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having a communication issue when attempting to print on two separate printers at the same time.
    This will be a communication issue for sure.  The computer can only send to one printer at a time. You will have to print to one printer, wait for it to finnish the print job and then send it to the other printer. 
    There is no way that you can print from one computer to two separate printers at the same time.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Disable Internet Connection on LAN computers on Linksys E2500

    Hi,
    I am new here, and going to setting up my router in my small office.
    I have a Linksys E2500, and going to disable internet connection on computers that connected via LAN cable.
    So, this is how I am going to set my office.
                                                                          Internet
                                                                                 |
                                                                          modem
                                                                                 |
                                                                   Linksys E2500
                                                                    (192.168.1.1)
                              |                                                                                                   |
                       Hub A                                                                                            Hub B
         PC 1                     PC 2                                                                PC 3                        PC 4
    Hub A and Hub B are in different floor.
    Do these Hub A and Hub B still give the same range of IP Address from linksys (192.168.1.x) to the PCs below them, like PC 1 got 192.168.1.2, PC 2 got 192.168.1.3 and go on? Can I reserve an static IP Address to each PCs, and disable internet only on PCs below Hub B (PC 3 and PC 4)? I cannot find any controls for disabling internet connection on LAN interface from the E2500 Setup Interface. There are only Wireless MAC Filtering and no LAN MAC Filtering.
    If this thing sounds stupid, I am sorry but I have no experience in setting network here. I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks a lot.

    I agree with FurryNutz. You will need an IP-enabled device for the router block it via Parental Controls. If you have wireless bridge or a manageable switch, you can block that and all the devices connected to it should also be blocked from internet access.
    I think you can set Static DNS on the computers under Hub B to 0.0.0.0 which will not allow them to access the internet but are still within the router's local network.
