programming chat: get the messages back

[wanderin]

I try to program a chat, and I can send the message to the server.
But, unfortunately, my server can't send back the message it received.
Althought I put the necessary code, I think:

try{
BufferedReader recep = new BufferedReader(
new
InputStreamReader(SOCK.getInputStream()));

while (true){
String message = recep.readLine();
OUT_BUF.println(message);
}
}

I notify the OUT_BUF parameter refers to the PrintWriter class.
As you can see, the message received should be returned to the
clients.

Thank you for helping.

Try sending the flush message to the output stream

Try sending the flush message to the output stream

I tried to give the flush() method, but it still doen't work. In fact,
I think the problem is my server program doesn't know where to send
the messages in its buffer. So, I have to tell him that by a method
such as a kind of:
send(new Socket(ip_to_send, port_of_ip_client));

As I want there are more than one client, I should create a public
method, called in the thread of my reading/sending messages.
