In @.gitignore:
- Line 1: Remove the accidental backtick entries from the .gitignore file:
locate the lines containing only backtick characters (the literal "```" entries
at the top and at line 7) and delete those lines so they no longer appear as
ignore rules; keep all other ignore patterns unchanged.
In `@src/TCP/TCPClientGUI.java`:
- Line 94: The direct call socket = new Socket(host, port) in the Connect
button's action listener blocks the EDT; refactor the connection into a
SwingWorker (or background Thread) that performs socket connection using
socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), 5000) to enforce a 5s timeout,
then publish results back to the EDT to update UI components (enable/disable
buttons, show error dialogs, update status) in done()/publish/process; locate
the connection code around the Connect button action listener and replace it
with a SwingWorker that creates the Socket with a timeout and handles
success/failure on the EDT.
- Around line 134-146: Update readFromServer to accept the specific Socket and
BufferedReader used by that reader thread (e.g., change readFromServer() to
readFromServer(Socket readerSocket, BufferedReader reader)) and use those local
parameters instead of the shared fields (in, socket, connected) so each thread
has its own snapshot; inside the loop detect EOF (reader.readLine() == null) and
on EOF post a UI message via SwingUtilities.invokeLater to append "Connection
closed by server" and call disconnect only if readerSocket == this.socket
(compare socket identity) to avoid closing a newer connection, and likewise in
the IOException handler check that the caught exception belongs to the same
readerSocket before invoking disconnect() and updating messageArea.
- Around line 153-155: The message is appended as "You: ..." before ensuring the
PrintWriter actually wrote it; update the send path in the block that uses
out.println(message) (and the connected flag) to flush and then call
out.checkError() to detect write failures, and only append "You: ..." to
messageArea (or otherwise notify success) when checkError() reports no error; if
checkError() indicates failure, display an error notification to the user
instead of logging the message as sent. Ensure you modify the code around
out.println(message), out.flush()/autoFlush behavior, and messageArea append so
failures are handled correctly.
In `@src/TCP/TCPServerGUI.java`:
- Around line 115-123: stopServer() currently only closes the listening
ServerSocket, leaving handler threads blocked on readLine(); fix by adding a
thread-safe collection (e.g., ConcurrentHashMap.newKeySet() or
ConcurrentSkipListSet) named activeClients to track client Socket objects, add
each accepted socket in acceptClients() when you call serverSocket.accept(),
remove the socket in the finally block of handleClient(), and iterate over
activeClients in stopServer() to close each Socket (and clear the set) so
blocked reader threads are interrupted and all client connections are
terminated.
- Around line 76-83: The accept loop is updating the Swing logArea from a
background thread in acceptClients(); wrap the logArea.append calls (e.g., the
"Client connected: " message and the error message in the catch) in
SwingUtilities.invokeLater so they run on the EDT, mirroring the pattern used in
handleClient() where log updates are performed inside
SwingUtilities.invokeLater; update the logArea.append(...) invocations that
reference clientSocket and e.getMessage() to be executed inside a Runnable
passed to SwingUtilities.invokeLater and keep the surrounding acceptClients(),
running, and clientSocket logic unchanged.
- Line 63: The accept thread currently reads the mutable field serverSocket and
calls logArea.append() from the background thread; fix acceptClients() so it
captures the ServerSocket instance into a local final variable when the thread
starts (e.g., final ServerSocket localSocket = this.serverSocket) and use that
localSocket for accept() to avoid accepting on a replaced socket, and change all
direct calls to logArea.append(...) in acceptClients() to wrap their UI updates
in SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> logArea.append(...)) to ensure EDT-safe
updates (mirror the pattern used in handleClient()).
In `@src/UDP/UDPClientGUI.java`:
- Line 107: The receiver thread started at new
Thread(this::readFromServer).start() must be scoped to the specific
DatagramSocket instance to avoid stale receivers closing a new session; change
the invocation to start a Runnable that captures the current socket (e.g. pass
the socket into a new method or lambda) and inside readFromServer (or a new
readFromServerForSocket(DatagramSocket s)) use that socket reference for all
reads and check socket identity instead of the shared connected flag before
calling disconnect(); also guard the exception handler and loop conditions with
a check that the socket being used equals the current session socket so a stale
thread will exit without calling disconnect() on a newer socket.
- Around line 133-138: The receive loop in UDPClientGUI uses a fixed 1024-byte
buffer and the platform default charset; change this to a named constant (e.g.,
MAX_UDP_PACKET_SIZE = 65507) and allocate the buffer with new
byte[MAX_UDP_PACKET_SIZE], add import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets, and
update all String/byte conversions in the class (e.g., new
String(receivePacket.getData(), 0, receivePacket.getLength()) and any send
getBytes(...) calls) to explicitly use StandardCharsets.UTF_8 to avoid
truncation and charset issues.
In `@src/UDP/UDPServerGUI.java`:
- Line 63: The listener thread must be bound to the specific socket instance it
was started with to avoid race conditions: capture the current socket into a
final local variable (e.g., DatagramSocket socketSnapshot = this.socket) and
start the thread using that snapshot (either pass it into a new overload
listenForPackets(DatagramSocket) or change the lambda to use the captured
variable) so the listener reads and calls receive() on socketSnapshot instead of
the mutable field; also ensure any checks of running use the same snapshot where
needed so the old thread cannot switch to a newly-assigned socket.
- Around line 73-79: The UDP server uses a 1024-byte buffer and default platform
encoding which risks silent truncation and mis-decoding; change the byte[]
buffer allocation used where "byte[] buffer = new byte[1024]" to 65507 (maximum
UDP payload) and update the string construction at "String received = new
String(packet.getData(), 0, packet.getLength())" to specify UTF-8 (e.g., use
StandardCharsets.UTF_8), adding the appropriate import if needed; ensure
DatagramPacket creation and socket.receive(packet) continue to use the enlarged
buffer so full payloads are received and decoded correctly.

Move socket connection to a background thread with a finite timeout to prevent GUI freezing.
Line 94 executes new Socket(host, port) directly on the Swing event thread (called from the Connect button's action listener). This blocking call can freeze the GUI for the OS TCP timeout duration when the host is unreachable or slow to respond.
Refactor the connection logic into a SwingWorker that:
- Creates and connects the socket with a finite timeout (e.g., 5 seconds)
- Updates UI components back on the EDT upon success or failure
For example, use Socket.connect(new InetSocketAddress(host, port), 5000) instead of the parameterless constructor to enforce a timeout.

Reset only the connection owned by this reader.
readFromServer() uses shared in, socket, and connected fields. A stale reader from an old socket can catch an exception after reconnection and call disconnect(), closing the new socket instead. Additionally, a clean server EOF exits the read loop silently without notifying the UI or disconnecting.
Pass socket and reader as method parameters to give each thread its own snapshot, and check socket identity before performing disconnect operations:
Proposed fix
- new Thread(this::readFromServer).start();
+ Socket clientSocket = socket;
+ BufferedReader reader = in;
+ new Thread(() -> readFromServer(clientSocket, reader), "tcp-client-reader").start();- private void readFromServer() {
+ private void readFromServer(Socket clientSocket, BufferedReader reader) {

Bind accept loop to specific ServerSocket instance and update log area safely from EDT.
Two issues in acceptClients():
-
Race condition: Line 63 starts a thread reading the mutable
serverSocketfield. A rapid stop/start sequence can cause the old accept thread to resume afterrunningis set true again and inadvertently accept clients on the new socket instance. The thread should be bound to the specific ServerSocket instance created when it starts. -
Unsafe Swing mutations: Lines 76 and 83 call
logArea.append()directly from the background accept thread. Swing components must be updated on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT). Compare with the correct usage inhandleClient()(lines 96-97, 104-105) which usesSwingUtilities.invokeLater().
Proposed fix
- new Thread(this::acceptClients).start();
+ ServerSocket boundServerSocket = serverSocket;
+ new Thread(() -> acceptClients(boundServerSocket), "tcp-server-accept").start();- private void acceptClients() {
- while (running.get()) {
+ private void acceptClients(ServerSocket boundServerSocket) {

Close all active client sockets when stopping the server.
When stopServer() closes only the listening socket, handler threads remain blocked in readLine() waiting for client input. These threads continue executing and can process messages even after the UI indicates the server has stopped. To properly shut down all connections, track client sockets in a concurrent collection, add them when accepted, and close them all during shutdown.
The proposed fix correctly addresses this by:
- Maintaining a thread-safe set of active client sockets
- Adding sockets to the set in
acceptClients() - Removing sockets in the
finallyblock ofhandleClient() - Closing all remaining sockets in
stopServer()to interrupt blockedreadLine()calls

Scope the receiver thread to the current UDP socket to prevent interference from stale receivers.
When connecting/disconnecting rapidly, the old receiver thread may still be executing its exception handler while a new connection is established. At line 143, the stale receiver checks if (connected) which is now true for the new session, causing it to call disconnect() and close the new socket while the new receiver thread is using it.
The fix passes the socket reference to the receiver thread and validates socket identity in loop conditions, ensuring each receiver only affects its own session:

Explicitly specify charset and increase UDP buffer size for consistency.
Line 133 limits the buffer to 1024 bytes, which truncates UDP packets larger than that size (UDP practical limit is ~65,507 bytes). Additionally, lines 138 and 157 use the platform default charset instead of an explicit one, which can cause character corruption on different systems.
Add import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;, define a constant for the maximum UDP packet size, and update the buffer allocation and charset usage:
Proposed fix

import java.io.IOException;

In `@src/UDP/UDPClientGUI.java` around lines 133 - 138, The receive loop in
UDPClientGUI uses a fixed 1024-byte buffer and the platform default charset;
change this to a named constant (e.g., MAX_UDP_PACKET_SIZE = 65507) and allocate
the buffer with new byte[MAX_UDP_PACKET_SIZE], add import
java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets, and update all String/byte conversions in the
class (e.g., new String(receivePacket.getData(), 0, receivePacket.getLength())
and any send getBytes(...) calls) to explicitly use StandardCharsets.UTF_8 to
avoid truncation and charset issues.

Bind the listener to the socket instance it was started with to prevent race conditions during rapid stop/start cycles.
The listener thread reads the mutable socket field without capturing its instance. If a user stops and immediately restarts the server, the old listener thread can wake after running becomes true again and exit its catch block. At that point, it loops back and reads the now-reassigned socket field, resulting in both the old and new listener threads calling receive() on the same socket instance, which is not thread-safe and causes unpredictable packet handling.
Proposed fix
- new Thread(this::listenForPackets).start();
+ DatagramSocket serverSocket = socket;
+ new Thread(() -> listenForPackets(serverSocket)).start();- private void listenForPackets() {
+ private void listenForPackets(DatagramSocket serverSocket) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
- while (running.get()) {
+ while (running.get() && socket == serverSocket && !serverSocket.isClosed()) {
try {
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buffer, buffer.length);
- socket.receive(packet);
+ serverSocket.receive(packet);
- socket.send(responsePacket);
+ serverSocket.send(responsePacket);🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

In `@src/UDP/UDPServerGUI.java` at line 63, The listener thread must be bound to
the specific socket instance it was started with to avoid race conditions:
capture the current socket into a final local variable (e.g., DatagramSocket
socketSnapshot = this.socket) and start the thread using that snapshot (either
pass it into a new overload listenForPackets(DatagramSocket) or change the
lambda to use the captured variable) so the listener reads and calls receive()
on socketSnapshot instead of the mutable field; also ensure any checks of
running use the same snapshot where needed so the old thread cannot switch to a
newly-assigned socket.

Increase UDP buffer to accommodate standard payload sizes and specify UTF-8 encoding.
The 1024-byte buffer silently truncates datagrams larger than 1 KB. Since neither the UDPClient (line 13 of UDPClient.java) nor the server enforces this limit, oversized packets are truncated and echoed back without any warning. Increase the buffer to 65507 bytes (the maximum UDP payload) and explicitly use UTF-8 for string conversions.

In `@src/UDP/UDPServerGUI.java` around lines 73 - 79, The UDP server uses a
1024-byte buffer and default platform encoding which risks silent truncation and
mis-decoding; change the byte[] buffer allocation used where "byte[] buffer =
new byte[1024]" to 65507 (maximum UDP payload) and update the string
construction at "String received = new String(packet.getData(), 0,
packet.getLength())" to specify UTF-8 (e.g., use StandardCharsets.UTF_8), adding
the appropriate import if needed; ensure DatagramPacket creation and
socket.receive(packet) continue to use the enlarged buffer so full payloads are
received and decoded correctly.
