Server response on client connect

I think this may be trivial, but lets say for the sake of simplicity that I want to have a client & server in java. And it isn't going to do a task until the server says it can, lets say give a "Hello World" every 5 seconds.

I want the client to connect and wait for the go ahead to start sending the string. Then once it is going, wait for the server to say STOP to cease the hello world sending to the server.

I have searched for nearly a week, looked at sample examples but do not know where to begin, surely I can treat this like a normal socket? Not entirely sure. Any help or stearing in the right direction is appreciated. If I am to vague please correct me. I have a very good concept of sockets in other languages, it's just I'm new to java and trying to learn this all out. Sample code is appreciated.

No problem. Just open the connection "as normal". Once open, either end can then send and/or receive. What each end does depends on your code that's executing.

You should be able to find adequate sample code here for a simple implementation:

If you want to get further into it, this is a good, short tutorial that also has a number of more complicated examples:

Sun's networking tutorial is also useful:
