java.net.SocketException: Connection Reset. How do I stop this? [duplicate]

Question

Every time I close my TCP Server, on my clients, I get this exception:

    java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
      at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:196)
      at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:122)
      at java.net.SocketInputStream.read(SocketInputStream.java:210)
      at java.io.ObjectInputStream$PeekInputStream.peek(ObjectInputStream.java:2293)
      at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readBlockHeader(ObjectInputStream.java:2473)
      at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.refill(ObjectInputStream.java:2543)
      at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.read(ObjectInputStream.java:2615)
      at java.io.ObjectInputStream$BlockDataInputStream.readByte(ObjectInputStream.java:2764)
      at java.io.ObjectInputStream.readByte(ObjectInputStream.java:916)
      at client.ListenFromServer.run(ListenFromServer.java:33)

Here's my two pieces of code, one is my TCPClient which connects to the server through a socket, and also creates a listener to listen to messages from the server:

TCPClient.java: http://pastie.org/private/msbnuhxyevxjlsdq1wvhow

ListenForServer.java: http://pastie.org/private/pav4azrakgfz31culrrg2a

How do I stop this exception from happening? In my while loop in ListenForServer.java, I make a check to see if the socket is closed, and if it is, I break out of the loop, yet I'm still getting this exception.

What's the best way to catch it, because my program does not close properly when I exit it, I have to manually close it from within Netbeans IDE.

This contains different code and has a different outcome, clients remaining active when closed, having to be forced closed in netbeans ide. Still having trouble with this. — Joe Bid

The code should be posted here. Otherwise the question has no permanent value and is liable for deletion. — user207421

Yes you did but youre still listening to the inputstream when the socket was closed.

you need to catch the socket exception or change ur while loop
