I am writing a Client/Server set of programs

Depending on the operation requested by the client, I use make TCP or UDP request.

Implementing the client side is straight-forward, since I can easily open connection with any protocol and send the request to the server-side.

On the servers-side, on the other hand, I would like to listen both for UDP and TCP connections on the same port. Moreover, I like the the server to open new thread for each connection request.

I have adopted the approach explained in: link text

I have extended this code sample by creating new threads for each TCP/UDP request.

This works correctly if I use TCP only, but it fails when I attempt to make UDP bindings.

Please give me any suggestion how can I correct this.

tnx

Here is the Server Code:

public class Server {
public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
        int port = 4444;
        if (args.length > 0)
            port = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);

        SocketAddress localport = new InetSocketAddress(port);

        // Create and bind a tcp channel to listen for connections on.
        ServerSocketChannel tcpserver = ServerSocketChannel.open();
        tcpserver.socket().bind(localport);

        // Also create and bind a DatagramChannel to listen on.
        DatagramChannel udpserver = DatagramChannel.open();
        udpserver.socket().bind(localport);

        // Specify non-blocking mode for both channels, since our
        // Selector object will be doing the blocking for us.
        tcpserver.configureBlocking(false);
        udpserver.configureBlocking(false);

        // The Selector object is what allows us to block while waiting
        // for activity on either of the two channels.
        Selector selector = Selector.open();

        tcpserver.register(selector, SelectionKey.OP_ACCEPT);
        udpserver.register(selector, SelectionKey.OP_READ);

        System.out.println("Server Sterted on port: " + port + "!");

        //Load Map
        Utils.LoadMap("mapa");
        System.out.println("Server map ... LOADED!");

        // Now loop forever, processing client connections
        while(true) {
            try { 
                selector.select();
                Set<SelectionKey> keys = selector.selectedKeys();

                // Iterate through the Set of keys.
                for (Iterator<SelectionKey> i = keys.iterator(); i.hasNext();) {
                    SelectionKey key = i.next();
                    i.remove();

                    Channel c = key.channel();

                    if (key.isAcceptable() && c == tcpserver) {
                        new TCPThread(tcpserver.accept().socket()).start();
                    } else if (key.isReadable() && c == udpserver) {
                        new UDPThread(udpserver.socket()).start();
                    }
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        System.err.println(e);
        System.exit(1);
    }
}

}

The UDPThread code:

public class UDPThread extends Thread {
private DatagramSocket socket = null;

public UDPThread(DatagramSocket socket) {
    super("UDPThread");
    this.socket = socket;
}

@Override
public void run() {
    byte[] buffer = new byte[2048];
    try {           
        DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buffer, buffer.length);
        socket.receive(packet);

        String inputLine = new String(buffer);
        String outputLine = Utils.processCommand(inputLine.trim());

        DatagramPacket reply = new DatagramPacket(outputLine.getBytes(), outputLine.getBytes().length,
                                                  packet.getAddress(), packet.getPort());
        socket.send(reply);

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    socket.close(); 
}

}

I receive:

Exception in thread "UDPThread" java.nio.channels.IllegalBlockingModeException
at sun.nio.ch.DatagramSocketAdaptor.receive(Unknown Source)
at server.UDPThread.run(UDPThread.java:25)
