connecting to servers

hi!

im trying to connect to a localhost server on my computer using java. the server is a java-program aswell, and both .java files are in the same folder. as of right now im just trying to get the server to print out a message "connected" in a new window just to se if it replies, but i cant get any message at all. the window opens but it is just blank, and it tells me that the applet has not started.

now, im not using a init(), istead im using a main(). im not really clear about the differens, but as i understand it you don磘 need an init() aslong as you dont care in which order stuff is giong to happen. as i only need the program to run once i chose the main() method, could that be it?

anyhow, heres my code, thankfull for any advice:

import java.net.*;

import java.io.*;

import java.util.*;

public class Client{

public static void main(String[] args){

try{

Socket socket = new Socket ("localhost", 1066);

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));

PrintWriter ut = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());

ut.println("Connected");

ut.flush();

System.out.println(in.readLine());

}

//ServerSocket sock = new ServerSocket(1066);

//while (true) new Trad(sock.accept()).start();

//}

//catch(IOException e){

//System.err.println(e);

}

}

Sounds like you better read this tutorial first: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/index.htmlOr maybe even start here: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/ and work your way down.Don't try to run a server as an applet in any case.
