chatMessenger

Welcome Everyone!!

I have created a simple 💬 Chat Messenger using networking libraries of Java. For the front end I have used JFrame class of Swing.

Usage

1. Set the host IP in ClientTest.java.

I have set it to local host, you can set it to the Host's public IP if you want.

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class ClientTest {
  public static void main(String args[]){
    Client cl=new Client("127.0.0.1");
    cl.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    cl.startRunning();

  }
}

2. Compile the TestServer.java and ClientTest.java by javac compiler.

On Server Machine:

javac TestServer.java

On Client Machine:

javac ClientTest.java

3. Run the compiled TestServer.class and ClientTest.class files.

On Server Machine:

java TestServer

You will have server window opened which starts listening for connections on port 1234.

On Client Machine:

java ClientTest

Connection will be established if no error is thrown and client window will popup. Communication can be done now!

Happy Chatting ♥️
