Hey I am trying to create a java chat server but I am get an exception:

exception in thread main java.lang.arrayindexoutofboundsexception 0

I know it means the index is out of bound but can any please tell me what I am doing wrong, I want to assign the port = 3001. Thanks
[JAVA]
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Server
{
private ServerSocket ss;
public static final int port = 2002;
private Hashtable outputStreams = new Hashtable();
public Server( int port ) throws IOException {
listen( port );
}
private void listen( int port ) throws IOException {
ss = new ServerSocket( port );
System.out.println( "Listening on "+ss );
while (true) {
Socket s = ss.accept();
System.out.println( "Connection from "+s );
DataOutputStream dout = new DataOutputStream( s.getOutputStream() );
outputStreams.put( s, dout );
new ServerThread( this, s );
}
}
Enumeration getOutputStreams() {
return outputStreams.elements();
}
void sendToAll( String message ) {
synchronized( outputStreams ) {
for (Enumeration e = getOutputStreams(); e.hasMoreElements(); ) {
DataOutputStream dout = (DataOutputStream)e.nextElement();
try {
dout.writeUTF( message );
} catch( IOException ie ) { System.out.println( ie ); }
}
}
}
void removeConnection( Socket s ) {
synchronized( outputStreams ) {
System.out.println( "Removing connection to "+s );
outputStreams.remove( s );
try {
s.close();
} catch( IOException ie ) {
System.out.println( "Error closing "+s );
ie.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
static public void main( String args[] ) throws Exception {
int port = Integer.parseInt( args[0] ); //the error is from here
new Server( port );
}
}
[/JAVA]

instead of the for loop, use a while loop like

while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
  DataOutputStream dout = (DataOutputStream)e.nextElement();
  try {
    dout.writeUTF( message );
  } catch( IOException ie ) { System.out.println( ie ); }
}

Might not solve all your problems, but would be a step in the right direction.
