Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to create a socket
connection between a C program and a Java program.

Thanks.

Ben.

Of course. It is just an ordinary TCP-IP socket.
Usually you would find it easier to make the Java end behave as the
server, but you can do it the other way. They may be on the same
machine or remote.

for sample code for the Java end see

What happened when you tried?

TCP sockets are independent of any programming language. How well do
you think the internet would work if that weren't the case?
