how to open two sockets with different listening port

you can - but probably they must be openned in two different threads

I am new to Java. I tried but couldn't figure out how to do it. Could you please post some example with some code?

    ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(1234);
     ServerSocket server2 = new ServerSocket(1235);

Thanks for your code. I tried but there are two issues:
1. I compiled the program and got error
source code:
class ProcessingSocketThread implements Runnable {
 int port;
 public ProcessingSocketThread(int port) {
   this.port = port;
 }
 public void run() {
   try {
     ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port);
     while (true) {
       Socket s = ss.accept();
       // process the socket
     }
   } catch (Exception e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   }
 }
}

Errors:

ProcessingSocketThread.java:9: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class ServerSocket
location: class ProcessingSocketThread
     ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port);
     ^
ProcessingSocketThread.java:9: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class ServerSocket
location: class ProcessingSocketThread
     ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(port);
                           ^
ProcessingSocketThread.java:11: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : class Socket
location: class ProcessingSocketThread
       Socket s = ss.accept();
       ^
3 errors

I added "import java.net.*;" at the very beginning. It compiled OK.

2. But the main class gave error:
source code:
try{
while (listening)
     {    
     ProcessingSocketThread pst1 = (new ProcessingSocketThread(10001)).start();          
     }


Error:
CopsServer.java:71: cannot resolve symbol

symbol  : method start ()

location: class ProcessingSocketThread

               ProcessingSocketThread pst1 = (new ProcessingSocketThread(10001)).start();

Any thoughts? Thanks a lot. Hongen

You have to derive the socket thread class from java.lang.Thread class - otherwise there is no start() method to call ;-)

So do this:

class ProcessingSocketThread extends Thread implements Runnable
{
...
}


I think this should be work


greetings jchecker...

>>ProcessingSocketThread pst1 = (new ProcessingSocketThread(10001)).start();

should be

ProcessingSocketThread pst1 = new ProcessingSocketThread(10001);
(new Thread( pst1 )).start();

Would you import the ServerSocket and Socket both class?
If you didn't do that, to add this statement "import java.net.*;" to in your code.

did you try the kennethxu's suggestion?

Thanks a lot. It works now. Thansk also goes to Kennethxu and all the replier.
