Java/Node socket client interaction

client.js

var net = require('net');

var client = net.connect(4444, 'localhost');
client.setEncoding('utf8');
setInterval(function() {
  console.log("Writing....")
  var ret = client.write('Hello from node.js\n');
  console.log("Wrote", ret)
}, 1000);

SocketServer.java

    public static final int port = 12345;

Hi @mpj, can you also share a sample where you send data from java and read it in node?
