Server Socket connection Java

Question

I have created a server socket with port 4242 but, It is getting timed out. serversock.accept() takes very long time to execute. Please advice.

ServerSocket serversock= new ServerSocket(4242);

System.out.println("Waiting " + serversock.getLocalPort() + "...");

Socket socket = serversock.accept();

System.out.println("Just connected to "  + serversock.getLocalSocketAddress());

accept() waits for clients to connect. As long as there are no clients, it will block. — isnot2bad

Your code looks ok. You must run it, and then try to connect to your 4242 port in order for your program to proceed to the println instruction. accept() blocks until a connection is made.

Here is a good Tutorial how to handle ServerSockets and (Client)Sockets.

There you can see how your problem can be solved by accessing the port 8080 with your browser without another Java programm.
