Java socket programming

[Wasps]

I am trying to program a chat application between server and client using sockets.
I followed some tutorials and tried to modify. However, the code does not seem to work.
I am trying to get the port number from a text field when the connect button is clicked and establish the connection. After the button is clicked the button does not work and the program goes into infinite loop.
Can anyone help??
Here is the code:
For server:

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Server extends JFrame{
   public JFrame frame;

   private Socket connection;

ServerTest class:

import javax.swing.*;
public class ServerTest {
  
  
public static void main(String[] args) {
   Server obj=new Server();
  
}

}

You have while(true) in your code,thats why your program goes into infinite loop
