I'm trying to make a basic java echo client server app and the textbook I'm reading says I should run the Server.java file first and then the Client.java second. But for some reason VSCode doesn't seem to be doing that. I run my Server.java file and get this which is what I'm expecting:
Simple Echo Server
Waiting for connection.....
And then I go to my Client.java file and run that, but nothing happens there are no errors, it stays at the two lines shown above, I can CTRL+C to terminate the batch job.
I'm expecting it to say this:
Simple Echo Server
Waiting for connection.....
Connected to client
But that's not happening - I am getting no errors though. I don't think it's a problem with my code since it's identical to the textbook's but I'll post it here.
Server.java
import java.io.*;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Server {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
System.out.println("Simple Echo Server");
try (ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(6000)) {
System.out.println("Waiting for connection.....");
Socket clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
System.out.println("Connected to client");
} catch (IOException ex) {
}
}
}
Client.java
import java.io.*;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.Socket;
public class Client {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
try {
System.out.println("Waiting for connection.....");
InetAddress localAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
try (Socket clientSocket = new Socket(localAddress, 6000);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream()))) {
}
}
catch (IOException ex) {
} // Handle exceptions
}
}
Is it possible that VS code can't run two java files at one time?
EDIT Tried the dual configuration below, but the result is the same, nothing is changing.
