Java Utililty Methods Socket Read

String dump(final Socket socket)
Dumps the state of a socket

if (socket == null)
 return "Socket [null]";
final StringBuilder b = new StringBuilder("Socket [");
b.append("\n\tConnected:").append(socket.isConnected());
final SocketAddress lsa = socket.getLocalSocketAddress();
final SocketAddress sa = socket.getRemoteSocketAddress();
if (sa != null && (sa instanceof InetSocketAddress)) {
 final InetSocketAddress isa = (InetSocketAddress) sa;

BufferedReader getBufferedReader(Socket s)
get Buffered Reader

return new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(s.getInputStream()));

BufferedReader getBufferedReaderFromInputStream(Socket socket)
get Buffered Reader From Input Stream

return new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));

InputStream getInputStream(Socket socket)
get Input Stream

try {
 return socket.getInputStream();
} catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
return null;

InputStream getInputStreamFromSocket(final Socket socket)
Returns a InputStream from the specified socket

return socket.getInputStream();

PrintWriter getPrintWriter(Socket s)
get Print Writer

return new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream());

PrintWriter getPrintWriterFromOutputStream(Socket socket)
get Print Writer From Output Stream

return new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());

String getResponse(Socket socket)
get Response

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));
String response = in.readLine();
return response;

byte[] readBytesIntoSocket(Socket socket)
read Bytes Into Socket

DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int count = 0;
byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
while (dis.available() == 0) {
 Thread.sleep(1);
while ((count = dis.read(buffer)) > 0) {

int readData(Socket connId, byte[] dataRead, int nchar)
Reads nchar from a given sockets, blocks on read untill nchar are read of conenction has error bRead returns the bytes read

InputStream input;
input = connId.getInputStream();
int nread = 0;
int startTime = (int) (new Date().getTime());
do {
 if (input.available() != 0) {
 nread += input.read(dataRead, nread, nchar - nread);
 startTime = (int) (new Date().getTime());
