ejp java_java.net.SocketException: Connection closed by remote host — oracle-tech

server side code:

SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket) ssf.getServersocket().accept();

BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket.getInputStream()));

BufferedWriter writer=new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream()));

boolean done=false;

while (!done) {

String line=reader.readLine();

if (line!=null) System.out.println(line);

else done=true;

}

writer.write("Acknowledgment!");

writer.flush();

writer.close();

writer = null;

The code above throws a following exception:

after I receive message from client and then would like to send back an acknowledge, but the latter throws

an exception when write the string to outputstream....i can make sure that i do not write any code to close the connection on the client side. any solution to this?
