Answer 1

Try this,

Do Not use BufferedReader() with PrintWriter..... PrintWriter is itself the Bridge between byte level socket data and character form.

Eg:

I am showing for a single client, use the while loop for n nos of clients

ServerSocket s = new ServerSocket(4444);

Socket incoming = s.accept();

OutputStream output = s.getOutputStream();

PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(output,true);

System.out.println(pw.write(new Scanner(System.in).nextLine()));
