套接字多线程 - 读取输入流暂停线程

Question

I'm testing out sockets on my local machine. I'm trying to run both a socket and server in one program using threads. My server is an echo server so that it sends back whatever message it receives. My problem is that when I start both threads, on both the client and server, they 'freeze' when they reach the part where I read from the input stream. It works fine up to the part where the client sends the message. Afterwards, it simply stops as it appears that the client is waiting for a message and so is the server even if I already sent a message to the server via writing to the outputstream. What's wrong with the code?

Client.java

@Override
    public void run() {

        try {
            Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 22600);

            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    socket.getInputStream()));
            BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
                    socket.getOutputStream()));
            BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                    System.in));
            System.out.println("Client 1");

            while (true) {

                System.out.print("\nEnter text : ");
                String inputText = input.readLine();
                writer.write(inputText);
                System.out.println("Client 2");

                System.out.println("Client 3");
                String s = br.readLine();
                System.out.println("CLIENT RECEIVED : " + s);

            }

        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

Server.java

@Override
public void run() {

    try {
        ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(22600);
        Socket socket = server.accept();
        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                socket.getInputStream()));
        BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(
                socket.getOutputStream()));


        System.out.println("Server 1");
        while (true) {

            System.out.println("Server 2");
            String s = br.readLine();
            System.out.println("Server 3");
            if (s == null) {
                System.out.println("NULL SERVER SIDE ERROR");
                break;
            }

            writer.write("ECHO : " + s);
            System.out.println("SYSOUT ECHO " + s);

        }
        server.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

}

Answer 1

You are writing a string that does not have an end-of-line at its end.

            String inputText = input.readLine();
            writer.write(inputText);
            System.out.println("Client 2");

The inputText string does not include the end-of-line you typed. And you write it as-is to the server. However, the server tries to read a line:

        String s = br.readLine();
        System.out.println("Server 3");

So it will keep waiting until the client sends in a newline. But by now the client is waiting for an answer from the server, and now they are deadlocked.

So, you should add a writer.newLine() to the client, as well as the server's echo, which suffers from the same issue. It's also recommended, after each write, to use writer.flush() , on both server and client. Otherwise, it may wait until the buffer is full before actually writing, and the same deadlock will result.

The readLine method of BufferedReader requires a new line terminator to return a value (unless the end of Stream is reached), and then returns the line without this character. So the Client

1. Reads a line from the user into the variable inputText
2. Client writes inputText to the OutputStream
3. Server receives data, but waits until it receives a new line (which it does not).

If you wish to use new line as a delimiter for communication, append this to the end of the data sent

writer.write(inputText + "\n");
