server compilation error from client/server application

[RugbyNut]

Hi guys, being new to Java I can't get my head around some differences with C++. I have a simple clent/server application written but I'm getting an error when compiling the server "cannot find symbol class Account". Three other separate classes are all compiled. I know this is staring me in the face but I would appreciate any suggestions!

package mypackage1;

import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Server 
{
	
	private int Account;
	
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    {

	Account[] theAccounts = 
		{ 
		  new Account("Tom", 100f),
		  new Account("Richard", 200f),
		  new Account("Harry", 300f) 
		};
		
	System.out.println("Displaying the Accounts");
	
	theAccounts[0].display();
	theAccounts[1].display();
	theAccounts[2].display();

        ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
        try 
        {
            serverSocket = new ServerSocket(5050);
            System.out.println("Start listening on port 5050");
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            System.out.println("Cannot listen on port: " + 5050 + ", " + e);
            System.exit(1);
        }
        while (true) // infinite loop - wait for a client request
        {
            Socket clientSocket = null;
            try 
            {
                clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
                System.out.println("Accepted socket connection from client");
            } 
            catch (IOException e) 
            {
                System.out.println("Accept failed: 5050 " + e);
                break;
            }	// create a new thread for the client
            ConnectionHandler con = new ConnectionHandler(clientSocket);
            if (con == null) 
            {
                try 
                {
                    ObjectOutputStream os = new ObjectOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
                    os.writeObject("error: Cannot open socket thread");
                    os.flush();
                    os.close();
                } 
                catch (Exception ex) 
                {
                    System.out.println("Cannot send error back to client:  5050 " + ex);
                }
            }
            else { con.init(); }
        }
        try 
        {
            System.out.println("Closing server socket.");
            serverSocket.close();
        } 
        catch (IOException e) 
        {
            System.err.println("Could not close server socket. " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Hi,

You have to import the Account class with its proper package. (see import java.net.*

If it is located in the same package you do ot need to do this but as the compoler says: I do not what is the Account you are asking me to reffer to

[uday_thakare198]

Hello whatever error you are getting is just because your compiler cannot find the file Account.class do one thing if you have created a package import the package specifically if xyz is the package in the folder where your class is import xyz.Account;
or simply put the .class file in the classpath, set the classpath=
%classpath%;.;
if it works reply me

Thanks guys for the suggestions, but it looks like a bit of a system crash and my classpath was corrupted. Classpath sorted, program running. Thanks again.
