Basically, I want my client to be continously able to send messages to the server, but *also* at the same time be able to recevie and display any messages from the server. This is the loop I have in its current state on the client

while (true) {
try {
System.out.println("Enter a message to send to the server:");
nextline = stdIn.readLine();
if (nextline != null) out.println(nextline);

fromServer = in.readUTF();
if (fromServer != null) System.out.println("From server " + fromServer);

else {
out.close();
in.close();
csocket.close();
stdIn.close();
}

} catch (Exception e) { }
}

It asks me to enter a message, I enter something and it sends it to the server.. perfect. BUT it just doesnt do anything after that, it just halts. I want it to print 'enter a message' again, and also be able to print messages from the server. Hope someone can help.
