Array of Sockets Java

Question

I\'m creating server and client java applications. I would like to create an array to store my sockets in. I\'m using eclipse, and when I type in this line:

Answer 1

When I run your code I recevie this error message

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: Uncompilable source code - incompatible types: try-with-resources not applicable to variable type
    (java.net.Socket[] cannot be converted to java.lang.AutoCloseable)

I advice you not to use try catch block with resources when you want to define your socket array.

       try (
            your rest of code
        ) { 
    define your array here --->  Socket[] sockets = new Socket[3];
            String inputLine;
            while ((inputLine = in.readLine()) != null) {
                out.println(inputLine);
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
           your rest of code 

Note: Socket class implements Closeable and AutoCloseable , yet array cannot be defined in try block like you tried to do
