Chat client and server, save messages and delete

Sun Apr 19, 2009 12:38 pm

I have tried to make a chat application that only saves the recieved messages which can then be deleted. I'm having some major problems with it.

Can anyone please point out or correct my coding. I have tried for ages to get this working but with no joy.

Client Code
Code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.EOFException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.ObjectInputStream;
import java.io.ObjectOutputStream;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.Socket;

import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;

public class Client extends JPanel
                      implements ListSelectionListener {
    private JList save;
    private DefaultListModel saveList;

    private static final String sendString = "Send";
    private static final String deleteString = "Delete";
    private JButton deleteBtn;
    private JTextField enterMsg;

        super(new BorderLayout());

        saveList.addElement("Hi How are you?");
        saveList.addElement("I'm ok. How are the kids?");
        saveList.addElement("Thats good to hear. I will have to give you a call for a meeting soon.");
       
        //Create the list and put it in a scroll pane.
        save = new JList(saveList);
        save.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
        save.setSelectedIndex(0);
        save.addListSelectionListener(this);
