TCP Sockets in Java SeverSocket server = new ServerSocket(12345, 3); Socket connection = server.accept(); ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream( connection.getInputStream() ); ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream( connection.getOutputStream() ); input.readObject() and output.writeObject(); output.close(); input.close(); connection.close(); Socket connection = new Socket( InetAddress.getByName( " " ), 12345) ObjectInputStream input = new ObjectInputStream( connection.getInputStream() ); ObjectOutputStream output = new ObjectOutputStream( connection.getOutputStream() ); input.readObject() and output.writeObject(); output.close(); input.close(); connection.close(); Server Client
