Client-to-Client networking...

[grande]

Hello,

I'm trying to establish a Client-to-Client connection over Java. I'd like to avoid having a seperate Server application (if possible). You'll have to forgive me, I'm fairly new to Java.

If anyone could offer any advice/resources, I'd really appreciate it.

public static void main(String args[]) {
   NetworkConnection NCClass = new NetworkConnection();
   NCClass.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   String ipadd = "127.0.0.1";
   int portnum = 6000;
   try {
      Socket sock = new Socket(ipadd, portnum);
      BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sock.getInputStream()));
      PrintWriter = output = new PrintWriter(sock.getOutputStream());
      
      System.out.println("Connection established to " + sock.getInetAddress());
   }
   catch (IOException e) {
      System.out.println("Connection Lost " + e);
   }        
}

What I'm hoping to happen is someone will create an instance of my class (NetworkConnection nc = new NetworkConnection(ipaddr, portnum)), which would open the connection to another computer.

If you could offer me any help at all, whatsoever, I'd be very appreciative.

But then the other computer will act as a server, I don't fully undertand what you're trying to do.

After looking around, it looks like I'll have to have two classes (One client/send, and one server/receive). Is this correct?

That's pretty much a client-server schema, right.
