Need help in applets-servlet communication
Hello friends!
I'm programming the multi-player game. The clients are applets and the server side I build with servlets. I'm use this method of connect and transfer the data(this is applet code) :
URL servletURL = new URL(URL_to_servlet);
URLConnection servletConnection = servletURL.openConnection();
Write the message to the servlet:
PrintStream out = new PrintStream(servletConnection.getOutputStream());
out.println(some_data);
out.close();
Read from the servlet:
InputStream in = servletConnection.getInputStream();
StringBuffer response = new StringBuffer();
int chr;
while ((chr=in.read())!=-1) {
response.append((char) chr);
}
in.close();
On servlet in doPost method I read the data from applet:
StringBuffer msgBuf = new StringBuffer();
BufferedReader fromApplet = req.getReader();
String line;
while ((line=fromApplet.readLine())!=null) {
if (msgBuf.length()>0) msgBuf.append('\n');
msgBuf.append(line);
}
fromApplet.close();
and write to applet:
resp.setContentType("text/plain");
PrintWriter toApplet = resp.getWriter();
toApplet.println(some_data);
toApplet.close();
The question is: How can I do that many clients transfer the data between them through the servlet at the same time?
On the client I did one method that write data to servlet and in Thread I did the method that all time try to read the data from the server. But I don't know how can I do in the servlet smthng for good transfer data.
Help me please...I'll be very thankful.
