SocketException: Connection reset in readLine()

Question

I am new to socket programming in java...
A client program from another application connects to my server and sends a string input to my server.
My server thread looks like this:
public class CallBankAPIClientSendThread extends Thread {
     Socket socket=null;
     String inputLine="";
     public CallBankAPIClientSendThread(Socket socket) {
          super("CallBankAPIClientSendThread");
          this.socket=socket;
     public void run(){
          /***Get input from the client****************/
     DataInputStream streamIn;
          try {
               streamIn = new
               DataInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream()));
               inputLine=streamIn.readLine();
               //do some processing...
               streamIn.close();
               } catch (IOException e1) {
                    System.out.println(e1);
               //do some processing here again
I am getting SocketException: Connection reset error...
Please help...

I tried closing the socket connection... It doesn't help...
I am still getting the same exception...

You don't seem to be grasping yet that (according to what you keep claiming the exception is) the client is terminating the socket.
So that means the socket at your end is dead. D. E. A. D. So you'll just have to close it.
But no, that won't solve your problem of your client terminating the socket will it? You need to investigate that and fix that.
