datainputstream throwing eofexception when receiving messages

i am trying to exchange message between server and client using sockets in java. i am using the following code for my sever

...
    try{
            if(acceptConnection){
                s = serverSocket.accept();
                System.out.println("connected");
                acceptConnection = false;
                dis = new DataInputStream(s.getInputStream());
            }
            System.out.println(dis.readUTF());
...

the first message is properly received but when i send the second message i get the following error

java.io.EOFException
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUnsignedShort(DataInputStream.java:340)
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(DataInputStream.java:589)
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(DataInputStream.java:564)
at Server.run(Server.java:23)

can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to solve it? thnx in advance

use dis.read() method of DataInputStream for not getting the exception.

Kindly change to BufferedInputStream from DataInputStream , as DataInputStream will throw an EOFException when the stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes
