How do I handle errors in Java socket programming?

In Java socket programming, you can handle errors using try-catch blocks. This allows you to catch exceptions like IOException.

Can you give me an example of error handling in a socket connection?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

try {
    Socket socket = new Socket("localhost", 8080);
} catch (IOException e) {
    System.out.println("Error connecting to server: " + e.getMessage());
}

What other exceptions should I be aware of?

You should also consider handling exceptions like SocketTimeoutException and UnknownHostException for more robust error handling.

How can I log these errors for debugging?

You can use a logging framework like Log4j or simply print the stack trace using e.printStackTrace(); in your catch block.
