Using the Stream Classes

[Tony_P]

HI, Can somebody give me some help as it's going badly wrong for at moment

Could some gives a hint or two where, & what i am going wrong...

THIS HOW I MUST DO THIS
Using the Stream Classes
--------------------------
I have got modify my SendAndClearHandler.class
Add a field of type DataInputStream, then add an OutputStream argument to
your constructor, chain the OutputStream argument to my DataOutputStream.

Then modify my actionPerformed() method so that text in the TextField is
sent to the DataOutputStream using writeUTF() method.
clear text as before, but do not append the String to the TextArea, This
will be done somewhere else.

Then I have got modify my MessageReader.class
Add a field of type DataInputStream, then add an InputStream argument to
your constructor, chain the InputStream argument to my DataInputStream.
within the Run() method, use readUTF() method of my DataInputStream field to
read in a String from the stream.
Instead of appending "Hello, Thread" to TextArea, append the String from the
call to readUTF().


Then I have got modify my ChatWindow.class
Before instantiating your MessageReader and SendAndClearHandler objects,
creata a File object associated with a file called "chat.txt".
Instantiate a FileOutputStream & FileInputStream object using you File
object.

Use the FileOutputStream object as the argument to the constructor
when instantiating your SendAndClear object

Use the FileInputStream object as the argument to the constructor
when instantiating your MessageReader object

Save, compile and run the ChatWindow program.

WHAT YOU SHOULD SEE
-------------------
Typing in the TEXTFIELD and clicking "Send" will send the String to a file.
This file is being read by a thread that places the string into your
TextArea

HI, Can somebody give me some help as it's going badly wrong for at moment

At the moment? Shirly. You are posting the same lab exercise a.k.a.
homework for two weeks in a row now. To multiple Java groups. You don't
even manage do disguise the text of the original homework assignment
very well. You have apparently no idea what the original code does.
Where did you copy it from?

You think you can fool the people here? The only one you are fooling is
you.

not at all i didn't copy the code. i put the code in there so shut up
pal!!!, it's called java programming you know class must have main method,
and ain't trying to fool anyone just trying to sort the error in my code!!!
Yes i have an idea what code does, but yer i rubbish at following logic...

For anybody who is intrested in what is happening in my code....

You send the FileOutputStream to the SendAndClearHandler and the
FileInputStream to the MessageReader.The SendAndClearHandler creates a
DataOutputStream from the FileOutputStream and the MessageReader creates a
DataInputStream from the FileInputStream.

You are creating instances of your classes with null arguments for the
streams, probably not a good idea if you want to use streams within the
classes. You create file streams later in your code but do not use them
anywhere.
