Trying to not wait on a server socket

Hi!
I need my code to not sit and pause on an accept command for server sockets, but still continue listening for incoming connections. How do I do this?
Thanks!

Depends.. The underlying native APIs usually allow for a variety of options, and therefore so does java..
- You can set the serversocket to be non-blocked, that is, you call accept and it'll immediately return, with a client socket or without, if you do this inside a loop then the loop can be very hard on your processor as you're 'busy-waiting'.
- You can set the timeout on the serversocket to a few seconds or so, after which the call will return without a client socket, or it will return before that timeout, with a client socket.
- You can screw all sockets (and other activities that you're waiting for) inside a poll() or select() like call, which will only return once the state on one of the sockets or events changes, and you can also give this call a timeout value.
All of these have their pendants in the java language, and I know how, but I'm not going to tell you, as this is the 'Advanced Language Topics' Forum, and not the 'I'm a scipt-kiddie with the need to write yet another server' Forum. I'm not going to do your homework. You should look it up yourself.

Database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2) on mac os x 10.9.2

Dear Fellas:
I received "database error #2002 can not connect local mysql server to socket through '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock'(2)" on mac os x 10.9.2.
mysql info:

Please help!!

Fascinated and guessing:
Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
Just speculating.

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:
java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: could not close client/server socket
I have seen this for a while now, and still see it with the latest 4.1 RC versions.
Here is the console output seen along with the above exception:

I 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.

Trevor

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 regards

Hi,
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 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.

The requested url was not found on this server is displayed when trying to play a video I paid for on itunes

When I try to play my itunes videos that I downloaded it says that "This requested url was not found on this server." Why? I paid for it, it s/b stored on my phone in itunes. It was working fine 2 weeks ago. I am using my iphone 4

I had a similar problem with a tv show. I contacted Apple Support and got the following instructions:
"please delete the episode from your iPad and then redownload it directly to the device. You can download past tv show, app, music, and book purchases without incurring additional charges as long as what you want to download is showing on your Purchased page. Some content may not be available for download again if its provider no longer offers it on the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
To enable this feature, you must have the latest version of iTunes. It is available on the Apple website:

Both my iphone 4s and my ipad3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. Why, and how do I fix it.

Since 29/10/2012 my iphone 4s and more recently my ipad 3 will not connect to the server when trying to access my email account. All I get is an error message saying that 'cannot get mail, connection to the server failed' I hadnt changed any settings it just happened. I have since done a complete re-boot on the ipad but to no avail. Anybody got any suggestions?

No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

Path does not exit - While trying to save file on SharPoint Server 2013 from client machine

Hi,
I have installed Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013 Enterprise Edition on my testing Lab environment (On VM Workstation 10) on Windows Server 2012 with SQL server 2012, I can access all files stored at SharePoint Server from any physical machine, I can share
a single file among different people to work simultaneously, but here i stuck on saving any file from client machine to directly on SharePoint Server, Attached is the snap shot, whenever I try to save any file directly It says Path Does Not Exist, If I drag
and drop any file directly to SharePoint I do not see any error message.
I read from different posts that I need to Enable Desktop Experience Feature on Server 2012, which I installed but no positive result gained :(
I will appreciate for any possible help?

My messages get lost in an eternal loop in my out box and it says that my iCloud me accounts are not recognized by the server. I can send 1 or 2 out of 10.
We tried adding a new account and that didn't work. We then deleted the account and started again. Still didn't work. Extremely frustrated!

There also seems to be something wrong with the time!!! My posting says 5:30ish but it was 8:30ish?

i don't think anyone on the forums can offer more than reiterating the info in that message 1 link about your hosts file, making sure you have no antivirus/antimalware/firewall active, making sure you don't have any nanny controls limiting access to certain websites and making sure you're not behind a proxy server.

Two server sockets on the same machine, one not working.

Dear forum users.
I'm currently having a problem with running two server sockets on the same computer.
It gives no exceptions or anything, just that if i connect with another machine, the last serversocket that started,
will not accept connections..
Scenario:
Computer 1: Main server.
Computer 1: Game server.
Computer 2: Client
Computer 2 connects first to the main server (lets say port 13371)
Then connects to game server (port 6112).
Computer 2 failes to connect to the Game server for some reason.
But if i open a client at Computer 1, connects to main server, and then game server, it
works fine.
And if I put computer 2 as a Game server,
then everything works fine.
Working scenario:
Computer 1: Main server.
Computer 2: Game server
Computer 2: Client
Computer 1: Client
Now, however many that wants to connect to game server, works.
I have gone through the code 100 times now it feels like. And still dont see why this happends.
Anyone know if it is "working as intended"? Or just me doing something completely wrong that i cant see myself?
Sorry for not posting code, its too much code to post.

Oh, sorry.

It's absolutley scandalous that a company with Apple's resources can let this happen. They should have staggered the release by region rather than opening the flood gates. The upgrade itself took me about 10 attempts to download it, and then I thought I was home free. That was until it rebooted and won't activate. It's over 2 hours now.
Scandalous!
