Transferring a DataOutputStream

Question

I have a program that connects client threads to a cinema through a socket. the client transfers his details (client no., required tickets) the cinema processes the request in another thread that makes sure there is enough seats available. as you will see in the code, i have a slight problem with figuring out how to send a feedback to the client from the cinema(server), the code presented is not completed, i just wanted to give you an idea of how it looks. my idea is to transfer the dataOutputStream to the cinemaThread and when its done, the cinema thread will return the feedback through the stream to the client is it possible?

Client side

import java.util.Random;
/**
 * this class in designed to define client properties
 * @author David and Adam

 */
public class Client extends Thread{

    private int serialNumber;
    private int NumberOfTickets;
    private String creditNumber;
    private String serverPort;
    private int rowNumber;

    /**
     * full constructor
     * @param serialNumber
     * @param NumberOfTickets
     * @param creditNumber
     */
    public Client(int serialNumber){
        this.serialNumber = serialNumber;
        this.NumberOfTickets = generateTicketNumber();
        this.creditNumber = generateCreditNumber();
        this.rowNumber = -1;
    }

    /**
     * returns a value in the required number of ticket range.
     * @return
     */
    private int generateTicketNumber(){
        return (new Random()).nextInt(Constants.MaxNumberOfTickets-1)+Constants.MinNumberOfTickets;
    }

    /**
     * returns a random credit number constructed of 16 digits.
     * @return
     */
    private String generateCreditNumber(){
        String s = String.valueOf((new Random()).nextInt(9)+1);
        for(int i=0 ; i<16 ; i++){
            s = (new Random()).nextInt()+s;
        }
        return s;
    }

Answer 1

You don't need to transfer a DataOutputStream. Use Socket.getOutputStream() .

server side

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
    // ... ...
    // Socket s = server.accept();
    DataOutputStream dos = new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
    // ... ...
    Thread cinemaThread = new CinemaThread( /* ... */, dos);
    // ... ...
}

public CinemaThread(/* ... */, DataOutputStream dos){
    // ... ...
    this.dos = dos;
}

public void run(){
    // ... ...
    if(occupied)
        dos.writeBoolean(true);
    else
        dos.writeBoolean(false);
    // ... ...
}

Answer 2

流通常是“输出”或“输入”的一种方式，因此，根据我对问题的阅读，不可能两种都使用一个流。
