EchoTCPClient

java.lang.Object
- DiscardTCPClient

public final class EchoTCPClient extends DiscardTCPClient

The EchoTCPClient class is a TCP implementation of a client for the Echo protocol described in RFC 862. To use the class, merely establish a connection with {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient#connect connect } and call {@link DiscardTCPClient#getOutputStream getOutputStream() } to retrieve the echo output stream and {@link #getInputStream getInputStream() } to get the echo input stream. Don't close either stream when you're done using them. Rather, call {@link org.apache.commons.net.SocketClient#disconnect disconnect } to clean up properly.
