Hello java guys
i'm writing chat software ,data send from client to server and server
response to client

If you search this newsgroup (Using Google Groups perhaps) you'll find
several regular posters have posted pointers to implementations of chat
programs.

so i need to send many data formats such as voice, text based i need to
make protocol between both client and server to do many operation for
example authencate user , get user list , whatever so i need way to send
data using sockets to send data
will i use bytes packets between both client and server ? or use
anthor way or what
and in case if i'm using bytes stream how can i explode or get text
message from the header stream how can i design this protocol

Why invent a new protocol? I'd have a look athttp://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/rfc.html
and at least use that as a starting point.

thanks for ur help

IS There any anthor solution for my questions- (?(?)(?( (?)) (? (?))&)(((V -

- ((?(? (?)) (? (?))&)(((V -

is there any solutions about this problem?

Well, the quote gives two approaches to solving it, searching for
previously posted sample code and starting from an appropriate RFC.

If neither of those ideas work in your situation, you need to say more
about the problem.
