Right now I am playing a little arround with Client-Server application for example to communicate via a java application with a raspberry pi which runs a server application.
Well by this I found a problem and I dont find a possible solution. Using the following code I can connect twice to server but after 2 connects it will not accept any more connections. For example I start the Client the first time, and it works everything nicely. Then I close the client and start it again and it works again. But if I close it and start it a 3rd time, it will do nothing. The server will not accept the connection. I tried it with different pcs in my private network but never got a 3rd connection running.
Here is the Code I am running on the server:
public class Receiver {
private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());
private ServerSocket serverSocket;
private boolean isRunning;
public Receiver(int port) {
isRunning = true;
try {
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(port);
logger.log(Level.FINER, "start listening at port " + port);
logger.log(Level.FINER, "established successful.");
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Error while opening socket:\n" + LogUtil.getStackTrace(e));
System.exit(1);
}
}
/**
* server starts to listen at the specific port
*/
public void listenServer() {
logger.log(Level.FINER, "Server is listening");
while (isRunning) {
try {
final Socket clientsocket = serverSocket.accept();
logger.log(Level.FINER, "Server accepted Connection from " + clientsocket.getInetAddress());
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
handleConnection(clientsocket);
}
}).start();
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Connection with Client failed.");
}
}
}
/**
* handles the given connection
*
* @param clientSocket
* the given client socket for this connection
*/
private void handleConnection(Socket clientSocket) {
ObjectInputStream instream = null;
ObjectOutputStream outstream = null;
try {
outstream = new ObjectOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
instream = new ObjectInputStream(clientSocket.getInputStream());
final RequestProcessor processor = new RequestProcessor();
final InetAddress inetAdress = clientSocket.getInetAddress();
logger.log(Level.FINER, "handle connection from " + inetAdress);
Object inob;
while ((inob = instream.readObject()) != null) {
logger.log(Level.FINER, "received Object from " + inetAdress);
final ObjectOutputStream finalOutputStream = outstream;
final Object finalInob = inob;
new Thread() {
public void run() {
setPriority(MAX_PRIORITY);
Object outob;
try {
outob = processor.processObject(finalInob);
logger.log(Level.FINER, "send Respond to: " + inetAdress + " Error: " + (outob instanceof ErrorMessage));
finalOutputStream.writeObject(outob);
finalOutputStream.flush();
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Connection closed to " + inetAdress);
}
}
}.start();
}
closeConnection(clientSocket, instream, outstream);
} catch (IOException e) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Connection closed to " + clientSocket.getInetAddress());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
logger.log(Level.SEVERE, "Connection closed to " + clientSocket.getInetAddress());
} finally {
closeConnection(clientSocket, instream, outstream);
}
}
/**
* closes InputStream, OutputStream and socket
*
* @param socket
* @param instream
* @param outstream
*/
private void closeConnection(Socket socket, InputStream instream, OutputStream outstream) {
this.isRunning = false;
if (instream != null) {
try {
instream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
if (outstream != null) {
try {
outstream.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
if (socket != null) {
try {
socket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
}
logger.log(Level.FINER, "Connection was closed to client " + socket.getInetAddress());
}
/**
* closes all connections and ends the server
*/
public void endAllConnections() {
this.isRunning = false;
if (this.serverSocket != null)
try {
this.serverSocket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// do nothing
}
}
}
and here is the client code which I am using to connect to this server:
public class SocketConnector implements IConnector {
private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());
private Socket s;
private ObjectOutputStream oos;
private ObjectInputStream ois;
/**
* creates a new connection
*
* @param host
* given host
* @param port
* given port
*
* @throws UnknownHostException
* @throws IOException
*/
public SocketConnector(String host, int port) throws UnknownHostException, IOException {
logger.log(Level.FINER, "Establish connection to " + host + ":" + port);
s = new Socket(host, port);
oos = new ObjectOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
ois = new ObjectInputStream(s.getInputStream());
}
// some methos which use oos and ois.
Does someone maybe know why the server does not accept any more connections when 2 clients connected and disconnected from it? I googled alot arround but didn't find an adequate answer :/ The server log says it doesn't even accept the new connection.
Thanks in advance :)
