POHow to solve the readLine() deprecated warning in ChatClient.java?
text
Body
copied!<p>I was trying to create a chat client/server network, and i think it was working fine for the server, but the client had some problems, since it has a deprecated warning and i then the program told me to use the flag -Xlint and I ran javac -Xlint:deprecated ChatClient but I don't know what to do to repair this warning statement: </p> <p>ChatClient.java:47: warning: [deprecation] readLine() in DataInputStream has been deprecated streamOut.writeUTF(console.readLine());</p> <p>This is my ChatClient.java file</p> <pre><code>import java.net.*; import java.io.*; public class ChatClient implements Runnable { private Socket socket = null; private Thread thread = null; private DataInputStream console = null; private DataOutputStream streamOut = null; private ChatClientThread client = null; public ChatClient(String serverName, int serverPort) { System.out.println("Establishing connection to server..."); try { // Establishes connection with server (name and port) socket = new Socket(serverName, serverPort); System.out.println("Connected to server: " + socket); start(); } catch(UnknownHostException uhe) { // Host unkwnown System.out.println("Error establishing connection - host unknown: " + uhe.getMessage()); } catch(IOException ioexception) { // Other error establishing connection System.out.println("Error establishing connection - unexpected exception: " + ioexception.getMessage()); } } public void run() { while (thread != null){ try { // Sends message from console to server streamOut.writeUTF(console.readLine()); streamOut.flush(); } catch(IOException ioexception) { System.out.println("Error sending string to server: " + ioexception.getMessage()); stop(); } } } public void handle(String msg) { // Receives message from server if (msg.equals(".quit")) { // Leaving, quit command System.out.println("Exiting...Please press RETURN to exit ..."); stop(); } else // else, writes message received from server to console System.out.println(msg); } // Inits new client thread public void start() throws IOException { console = new DataInputStream(System.in); streamOut = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream()); if (thread == null) { client = new ChatClientThread(this, socket); thread = new Thread(this); thread.start(); } } // Stops client thread public void stop() { if (thread != null) { thread.stop(); thread = null; } try { if (console != null) console.close(); if (streamOut != null) streamOut.close(); if (socket != null) socket.close(); } catch(IOException ioe) { System.out.println("Error closing thread..."); } client.close(); client.stop(); } public static void main(String args[]) { ChatClient client = null; if (args.length != 2) // Displays correct usage syntax on stdout System.out.println("Usage: java ChatClient host port"); else // Calls new client client = new ChatClient(args[0], Integer.parseInt(args[1])); } } class ChatClientThread extends Thread { private Socket socket = null; private ChatClient client = null; private DataInputStream streamIn = null; public ChatClientThread(ChatClient _client, Socket _socket) { client = _client; socket = _socket; open(); start(); } public void open() { try { streamIn = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream()); } catch(IOException ioe) { System.out.println("Error getting input stream: " + ioe); client.stop(); } } public void close() { try { if (streamIn != null) streamIn.close(); } catch(IOException ioe) { System.out.println("Error closing input stream: " + ioe); } } public void run() { while (true) { try { client.handle(streamIn.readUTF()); } catch(IOException ioe) { System.out.println("Listening error: " + ioe.getMessage()); client.stop(); } } } } </code></pre> <p>I think the problem is the use of .readLine() but I need help to solve it.</p>
