Java Networking

The document provides an overview of Java networking, focusing on TCP and UDP protocols, including their characteristics and socket types. It describes the roles of server and client software, and introduces various Java classes for handling network connections, such as ServerSocket, Socket, DatagramPacket, and HttpURLConnection. Additionally, it highlights the new HttpClient API introduced in Java 11 for improved HTTP networking support.

Networking
TCP
• TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol
• TCP is connection‐oriented
• It provides reliability
• What is Server and Client?
– A server is a piece of software which advertises and then
provides some service on request
– A client is a piece of software (usually on a different
machine) which makes use of some service

TCP Sockets
• Two types of TCP Sockets
• ServerSocket
– ServerSocket is used by servers so that they can accept
incoming connections from client
• Socket
– Socket is used by clients who wish to establish a
connection to a (remote) server

Scenario

Client Server ([Link])


ServerSocket ss=new
ServerSocket(22222);

Socket s = new Socket


(“[Link]”, 22222); Socket cs = [Link]();

[Link](); [Link]();
[Link](); [Link]();

TCP Sockets Code
• Packages:
– tcpsimple (no threading)
– tcpstring (multithreading, string send and receive)
– tcpobject (multithreading, object send and
receive)
– tcpdiff (multithreading, the server sends
messages to multiple clients)
– tcpforward (multithreading, the server forwards
messages between multiple clients)

UDP
• UDP stands for User Datagram Protocol
• UDP is not connection‐oriented
• It does not provide reliability
• It sends and receives packets known as Datagram

Prepared By - Rifat Shahriyar 6


Datagram Packet & Socket
• One type of Packet and one type of Socket
• DatagramPacket
– Used to encapsulate Datagram
• DatagramSocket
– DatagramSocket is used by both server and client to
receive DatagramPacket
• Example: [Link], [Link]

InetAddress
• Java has a class [Link] which abstracts
network addresses
• Major methods
– getLocalHost()
– getByAddress()
– getByName()
• Example: [Link], [Link], [Link]

Prepared By - Rifat Shahriyar 8


HttpURLConnection
• Java provides a class [Link]
that provides support for HTTP connections
• You can obtain HttpURLConnection by calling
openConnection( ) on URL object
• You must cast the result to HttpURLConnection
• You can then read/write from/to the connection
• Example: [Link]

Prepared By - Rifat Shahriyar 9


HttpClient
• Java 11 introduced a new networking package
[Link] (aka HTTP Client API)
– It provides enhanced networking support for HTTP clients
– Superior alternative to HttpURLConnection
• Classes: HttpClient, HttpRequest, HttpResponse
– Create an instance of HttpClient
– Construct an HttpRequest, send it by HttpClient’s send()
– The response is returned by send() from which the headers
and response body can be obtained
• Example: [Link]
