JAVA Chat App - OKok

OKok chat

OKok chat is a simple chat application developed  using java,

it is meant for "one on one" chat between two people only,It uses java's "java.net" for communicating through sockets.

In this post i'll be posting both the code and HOW TO'S  of running the application

PART 1( The application)

#Step 1:

Download the application 

Note:  

• If two people (ONE and TWO) want to chat with each other then ONE should download Server.jar and TWO should download Client.jar(or vice versa). 
• In short if person 1 has server.jar then person 2 should have client.jar  
• Also BOTH need to download "jarfix.exe"

You can download the respective file here

 1:  Server.jar ( 7.1 KB )

 2:  Client.jar (7 KB)

 3:  jarfix.exe (63.8 KB)

Things you need to know:

•  "IP Address" of the person having Server.jar (click here to find your ip)
•  Port no of Server.jar,person having Server.jar needs to choose a port no (any number greater than 1024 and less than 65535, for example: 9090) 
•  The person having the client.jar should be told the IP Address and port explicitly

#Step 2:

 Note: By now the person having "client.jar" should know IP Address and port of server

 1: Double click on jarfix.exe (why ? what is this ?) and follow instructions.
 

 2: The individual having Server.jar should double click it, something like the image shown below will appear    




3: Enter a port no (any number greater than 1024 and less than 65535, for example: 9090) and remember it
    also the other person or client should be told this number

4: Click ok ,something like the image shown below appears



5: Now the person having client.jar should double click it, something like the image shown below will appear

6: Now the client has to enter the IP Address of server in the "server name" field and server's port in the port field

And voila!  the client and server can chat now !!
