I was going through an old socket tutorial that I used a few months ago. I had no problem then. But when I tried it tonight I got an error that this part of the code had been deprecated:
CODE
"Client.java": [deprecation] readLine() in java.io.DataInputStream has been deprecated at line 42, column 43
That's great and all, but I'm having trouble finding what was now used to replace this. Anybody know? Here is the code in its entirety if anyone cares to know:
CODE
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class smtpClient {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// declaration section:
// smtpClient: our client socket
// os: output stream
// is: input stream
Socket smtpSocket = null;
DataOutputStream os = null;
DataInputStream is = null;
// Initialization section:
// Try to open a socket on port 25
// Try to open input and output streams
try {
smtpSocket = new Socket("hostname", 25);
os = new DataOutputStream(smtpSocket.getOutputStream());
is = new DataInputStream(smtpSocket.getInputStream());
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Don't know about host: hostname");
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: hostname");
}
// If everything has been initialized then we want to write some data
// to the socket we have opened a connection to on port 25
if (smtpSocket != null && os != null && is != null) {
try {
// The capital string before each colon has a special meaning to SMTP
// you may want to read the SMTP specification, RFC1822/3
os.writeBytes("HELO\n");
os.writeBytes("MAIL From: k3is@fundy.csd.unbsj.ca\n");
os.writeBytes("RCPT To: k3is@fundy.csd.unbsj.ca\n");
os.writeBytes("DATA\n");
os.writeBytes("From: k3is@fundy.csd.unbsj.ca\n");
os.writeBytes("Subject: testing\n");
os.writeBytes("Hi there\n"); // message body
os.writeBytes("\n.\n");
os.writeBytes("QUIT");
// keep on reading from/to the socket till we receive the "Ok" from SMTP,
// once we received that then we want to break.
String responseLine;
while ((responseLine = is.readLine()) != null) {
System.out.println("Server: " + responseLine);
if (responseLine.indexOf("Ok") != -1) {
break;
}
}
// clean up:
// close the output stream
// close the input stream
// close the socket
os.close();
is.close();
smtpSocket.close();
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
System.err.println("Trying to connect to unknown host: " + e);
} catch (IOException e) {
System.err.println("IOException: " + e);
}
}
}
}
