Introduction

The Multithreaded Web Server is a simple yet powerful TCP server written in Java, designed to handle multiple client connections simultaneously. It utilizes multithreading to ensure that each client is served in its own thread, providing a responsive and efficient user experience.

Features

• Handles multiple clients using a thread pool.
• Each client receives a personalized greeting message.
• Graceful server shutdown to finish current connections.
• Configurable thread pool size for optimal performance.

Technologies Used

• Java SE
• Socket Programming
• Multithreading
• ExecutorService

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher
• An IDE or text editor (e.g., IntelliJ IDEA, Eclipse, Visual Studio Code)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/multithreaded-webserver.git
   cd multithreaded-webserver

2. Compile the server and client:

   javac Server.java Client.java
   

Running the Server

To start the server, navigate to the directory containing the compiled Server.class and run: java Server The server will start listening on port 8010. You can adjust the port in the Server class if needed.

Running the Client

To connect to the server, navigate to the directory containing the compiled Client.class and run: java Client You can modify the number of clients in the Client class to test the server's handling of multiple connections.

Code Structure

multithreaded-webserver/ └──> Server.java # Contains the server implementation └──> Client.java # Contains the client implementation

Usage

Start the server before running the client. Each client will connect to the server and receive a greeting message. Monitor the server console for connection logs.
