About multi Threads. How can i implements the timeout Threads to Chatting program?

[lkw8888]

Timeout doesn't work properly.. is there any problem? with my source.. These are relevant source for the TimeOut Thread..

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
public ChatJin() { 
        //Find Local IP Address & Name
        try {
            InetAddress myInet=InetAddress.getLocalHost();
            System.out.println("My InetAddress "+myInet.getHostAddress()+" name "+myInet.getHostName());
        } catch(UnknownHostException e) { 
            System.out.println("InetAddress Error on Port "+8000+" Error code "+e); 
            e.printStackTrace(); 
        }    
        try { 
            //Listening          
          
            server = new DatagramSocket(8000,InetAddress.getLocalHost());  
            System.out.println("Datagram Server on "+server.getLocalAddress().getHostAddress()+" port "+server.getLocalPort());
      
        }  catch(UnknownHostException e) {
            System.out.println("Server Unknown Exception error"+e);
        } catch(SocketException e) {

        } catch(IOException e) { 
            System.out.println("Client Socket Error on Port "+dport+" Error code "+e);

Use BB Code. Please read http://www.daniweb.com/forums/announcement9-3.html

Java Threads are fundamental to the whole Java API. They really do work, properly.
What's the problem with your code? You say "don't work properly" but that tells us nothing - what exactly your program do/not do that you didn't expect?
