Run the programs by starting the server (don’t forget to specify a port number as a command-line argument) first, then the client. Conduct a session and observe the diagnostic messages displayed on both sides. Describe your observation of the sequence of events.

Question

This exercise uses EchoServer1 and EchoClient1, which uses connectionless datagram sockets for the Echo service.

Compile Echo*1.java (“javac Echo*1.java”). Then:

Answer 1

A sample session is attached.
The server waits for a message from any client. When it receives a message that is not an ending message (one that contains a single dot), it sends the same message back to the sender, using the return address extracted from the datagram packet. The client repeated prompts for input from the user. Each line is sent to the server, then the message (the echo) subsequently received from the server is displayed to the user. When the user enters an ending line (one that contains a single dot), the session is over after the echo is received.
