Hello, I am trying to create a server for a card game I wrote. Starting the server and connecting onto it works fine, however when I'm about shut it down I get a SocketException : Socket closed and my application cannot recover from this. I found the cause of this to be the accept() method from ServerSocket class, because it is blocking. I am calling the accept() method in a while(!socket.isClosed()) loop on a runnable server. I would like to know how I can recover the server from this blocking state or at least handle this specific exception so my application won't freeze. I will post code on demand. Any help is appreciated.
