What is the best practice to write a java chat software

Question

I have a project am just sooo confuse on what and how I will do it although I can do it but I think it not the best way it suppose to be done

Answer 1

To make a java chat app you could use a web app and use java for the backend. I️ would use web sockets for real time connection. You COULD use Java for front end by using gwt or vaadin.

If you don’t want to make a web app you could use the Socket and ServerSocket classes.
