Sending files without closing the socket output
Hi all!
I'm new to sockets, and I'm trying to get a file from a Server...the problem is that unless I close the socket output stream the Client will hang...
Here is the code:
Client
publicclass FileClient{
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){
try{
Socket socket =new Socket(InetAddress.getLocalHost(), 9192);
ObjectInputStream in =new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
FileOutputStream fos =new FileOutputStream("result.txt");
System.out.println("Downloading file...");
byte[] buf =newbyte[4096];
while(true){
int len = in.read(buf);
if(len == -1)break;
fos.write(buf, 0, len);
}
fos.flush();
fos.close();
System.out.println("Done.");
}catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace();}
}
}
Server
publicclass FileServer{
publicstaticvoid main(String[] args){
try{
ServerSocket ss =new ServerSocket(9192);
while(true){
System.out.println("Wating for connection...");
Socket socket = ss.accept();
OutputStream out =new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
String fileName ="Stuff/result.txt";
System.out.println("Sending file...");
FileInputStream fis =new FileInputStream(fileName);
byte[] buf =newbyte[4096];
while(true){
int len = fis.read(buf);
if(len == -1)break;
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
fis.close();
System.out.println("Done.");
}
}catch (Exception ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Is there a way to solve this without closing the output stream? And if I do close the socket output stream, is there any problem in opening it again?
Thanks in advance
