I have a server and client.java which can send and accept a message both ways via input and output stream but as soon as there is a connection a message is sent and then the server closes its self, so far I have put the buffered reader ect. in a finally block which is only activated when e == true (e for exit so I can stop it when I want) but it still stops the build after sending/receiving a message1st question how can I stop it from closing its self?2nd question how can I put input stream reader in a loop to continually test for input from client.java?Client.java\[code\]package client;import java.io.*;import java.net.*;import java.io.BufferedReader; // Variables declaration - do not modify /** * * @author **** */public class Client extends javax.swing.JFrame {; public Client() { initComponents(); } /** * This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form. * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code.
