hi, i m new in java and i m trying to run a calculator with server-client. When the user presses the equal button, two numbers and a string sending to server (as an array of Strings),calculating and send back the result. The problem is that when the equal button pressed then the calculator doesn't respond. My thought is to connect to server when the "=" button is pressed.
Calculator-client

myButtonEq.addActionListener (new ActionListener ()
		{
			public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
			{	
				secondNumber=myTextField.getText();
				try{
				Socket sck=new Socket("localhost",100);
				input=new ObjectInputStream(sck.getInputStream());
				output=new ObjectOutputStream(sck.getOutputStream());
				
				
			
				if(multiplyClick==1)
				{
					String sd[]={firstNumber,secondNumber,opcode};
					output.writeObject(sd);
					output.flush();
					total=input.readDouble();
					myTextField.setText(Double.toString(total));
					multiplyClick=0;
				}
				if(addClick==1)
				{
					String sd[]={firstNumber,secondNumber,opcode};
					output.writeObject(sd);
					output.flush();
					total=input.readDouble();
					myTextField.setText(Double.toString(total));
					addClick=0;
				}

Server

public class Server extends Thread
{
	public static void main(String []args)
	{
		try
		{
			ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(100);
			Socket sck = server.accept();	// accept connection from client 
			
			
			while(true)
			{
				// to get data to and from server
				ObjectInputStream input =new ObjectInputStream(sck.getInputStream());
				ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream(sck.getOutputStream());
				String message[]=(String[])input.readObject();
				String firstNumber = message[1];
				String secondNumber = message[2];
				String opcode = message[3];

				if(opcode.equals("+"))
				{
					double first=Double.parseDouble(firstNumber);
					double second=Double.parseDouble(secondNumber);
					double total=first+second;
					output.writeObject(total);
					output.flush();
				}

These oparations are common to all click. Why repeating them in the different if ?

                    String sd[]={firstNumber,secondNumber,opcode};  
                    output.writeObject(sd);  
                    output.flush();  
                    total=input.readDouble();  
                    myTextField.setText(Double.toString(total));  

you are paid by the number of lines of code typed or what ?

I know,I fix it that..but still problem with server-client.

LMAO!!! Sorry, off topic but Too funny!!

The way the connections are performed is important

If the client creates:
- inputStream the server output stream must exist
- ouputStrean the server input stream must exist

so Client/Server must create them in reverse order

Server creates outputStrean
Client creates inputStream and connect to existing Server outputStream
Client creates outputStream
Server creates inputStream and connect to existing Client outputStream

Right now bot your Client and Server wait for the other one to create it's outputStream to connect to it. So reverse the order of creation or in your Client or in your Server

Once done, stick to that order for the rest of your life I personally use:

Server - Output
Client - Input
Client - Output
Server - Input

i 've solved,with the help of TCP/IP Client and Server code, but now i can't calculate more than 1 time.I've tried with a loop to fix it but i didn't. I only want to disconnect from the server when i close the window of calculator.
Server

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class Server
{
private ServerSocket serverSocket;

Server(int port)
{
	try
	{
		serverSocket =new ServerSocket(port);
		System.out.println("Server waiting for client on port"+serverSocket.getLocalPort());
		while(true)
		{
			Socket socket=serverSocket.accept();
			System.out.println("New client asked for connection");
			TcpThread t=new TcpThread(socket);
			t.start();
		}
	}
	catch(IOException e)
	{
		System.out.println("Exception on new ServerSocket:"+e);
	}
}
public static void main(String[] arg)
	{
		new Server(1500);
		
	}
class TcpThread extends Thread
{
	Socket socket;
	ObjectInputStream Sinput;
	ObjectOutputStream Soutput;
	String tot;
	
	TcpThread(Socket socket)
	{
		this.socket=socket;
	}

	public void run()
	{
		System.out.println("Thread trying to create Object Input/Ouput Streams");
		try{
				Soutput = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
				Soutput.flush();
				Sinput= new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
			}	
				catch(IOException e)
				{
					System.out.println("Exception creating new Input/Output Streams:");
					return;
				}
				System.out.println("Thread waiting for a String from the Client");

					String str[]=(String[]) Sinput.readObject();
					String firstNumber = str[0];

					{					
						double total=first+second;
						tot=Double.toString(total);

				finally
				{

						Sinput.close();

	}

You have two choices:

1) have the Client always connected in that case the run() method of your

class TcpThread extends Thread

should have an infinite loop
right now you:
- read
- perform calculation
- close the stream

2) have the Client to redo a connection each time

thank you very much!i've done it at last...everything works fine,except the thing that sometimes i have to minimize the window to appear the buttons (weird).
