Hi Guys,

Just a quick one ... I am having trouble listening to sockets in Java.

I am writing a simple chat client, and I am using JBuilder 9. I am fine
using events etc, but I am having trouble "listening" to the incoming
connection.

How would I do this? Is a timer the best option that checks, say, every 1
second for new data on the port - or is there a more efficient way?

Many thanks for your help.

Andrew.
