Introduction of java.net package
Java Networking is a concept of connecting two or

more computing devices together so that we can share
resources.
Java socket programming provides facility to share data
between different computing devices.
Advantage of Java Networking
sharing resources
centralize software management
Java Networking Terminology
The widely used java networking terminologies are given

below:
IP Address
Protocol
Port Number
MAC Address
Connection-oriented and connection-less protocol
Socket
1) IP Address
 IP address is a unique number assigned to a node of a network e.g.
192.168.0.1 . It is composed of octets that range from 0 to 255.
 It is a logical address that can be changed.
2) Protocol
A protocol is a set of rules basically that is followed for communication.
For example:
 TCP
 FTP
 Telnet
 SMTP
 POP etc.
3) Port Number
 The port number is used to uniquely identify different applications. It acts as a
communication endpoint between applications.
 The port number is associated with the IP address for communication between
two applications.
4) MAC Address
 MAC (Media Access Control) Address is a unique identifier of NIC (Network
Interface Controller). A network node can have multiple NIC but each with
unique MAC.
5) Connection-oriented and connection-less protocol
 In connection-oriented protocol, acknowledgement is sent by the receiver. So it is
reliable but slow. The example of connection-oriented protocol is TCP.
 But, in connection-less protocol, acknowledgement is not sent by the receiver. So
it is not reliable but fast. The example of connection-less protocol is UDP.
6) Socket
 A socket is an endpoint between two way communication.
Java Socket Programming
 Java Socket programming is used for communication between the applications

running on different JRE.
 Java Socket programming can be connection-oriented or connection-less.
 Socket and ServerSocket classes are used for connection-oriented socket
programming and DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket classes are used for
connection-less socket programming.
 The client in socket programming must know two

information:
 IP Address of Server, and
 Port number.
Socket class
 A socket is simply an endpoint for communications between the

machines. The Socket class can be used to create a socket.
Method Description
1) public InputStream returns the InputStream attached with
getInputStream() this socket.
2) public OutputStream returns the OutputStream attached
getOutputStream() with this socket.
3) public synchronized void close() closes this socket
ServerSocket class
The ServerSocket class can be used to create a server socket. This

object is used to establish communication with the clients.
Important methods
Method Description
1) public Socket accept() returns the socket and establish a

connection between server and client.
2) public synchronized void close() closes the server socket.

Let's see a simple of java socket programming in which client sends a text and
server receives it.
File: MyServer.java File: MyClient.java
import java.io.*; import java.io.*;
import java.net.*; import java.net.*;
public class MyServer { public class MyClient {
public static void main(String[] args){ public static void main(String[] args) {
try{ try{
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(6666); Socket s=new Socket("localhost",6666);
Socket s=ss.accept();//establishes connection DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream
DataInputStream dis=new DataInputStream(s.get (s.getOutputStream());
InputStream()); dout.writeUTF("Hello Server..your name");
String str=(String)dis.readUTF(); dout.flush();
System.out.println("message= "+str); dout.close();
ss.close(); s.close();
}catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);} }catch(Exception e){System.out.println(e);}
} }
} }
Example of Java Socket Programming (Read-Write both side)
In this example, client will write first to the server then server will receive and print the text.
Then server will write to the client and client will receive and print the text. The step goes on.
File: MyServer.java
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
class MyServer{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
ServerSocket ss=new ServerSocket(3333);
Socket s=ss.accept();
DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String str="",str2="";
while(!str.equals("stop")){
str=din.readUTF();
System.out.println("client says: "+str);
str2=br.readLine();
dout.writeUTF(str2);
dout.flush();
}
din.close();
s.close();
ss.close();
}}
File: MyClient.java
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;
class MyClient{
public static void main(String args[])throws Exception{
Socket s=new Socket("localhost",3333);
DataInputStream din=new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
DataOutputStream dout=new DataOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String str="",str2="";
while(!str.equals("stop")){
str=br.readLine();
dout.writeUTF(str);
dout.flush();
str2=din.readUTF();
System.out.println("Server says: "+str2);
}

dout.close();
s.close();
}}
Java URL
The Java URL class represents an URL. URL is an acronym for

Uniform Resource Locator. It points to a resource on the World Wide
Web. For example:
www.youtube.com
A URL contains many information:

 Protocol: In this case, http is the protocol.
 Server name or IP Address: In this case, www.youtube.com is the server name.
 Port Number: It is an optional attribute. If we write http//www.youtube.com:80/
, 80 is the port number. If port number is not mentioned in the URL, it returns -1.
 File Name or directory name: In this case, index.html is the file name.
Commonly used methods of Java URL class
The java.net.URL class provides many methods. The important methods

of URL class are given below:
Method Description
public String getProtocol() it returns the protocol of the URL.
public String getHost() it returns the host name of the URL.
public String getPort() it returns the Port Number of the URL.
public String getFile() it returns the file name of the URL.
public URLConnection openConnection() it returns the instance of URLConnection i.e.
associated with this URL.
