Blocking the interface in NetBeans
I am developing a program for communication between client and server.
I am developing the graphical interface of the program based on JPanel/Forms.
Client data is sent correctly to the server. My problem is when I do to fetch the data from the server back to the client, the graphical interface blocks, and no elements are shown that should appear.

The window with the elements open, but problems begin when the program enters the formWindowsOpened() method directly.
When it enters the method and with the debugger goes through the lines, but blocks and does not appear the message "welcome" as you can check by the line areaChat.setText("BEM-VINDO \t" + userClass.getNome());.
The interface blocks, and only by stopping the execution of the server and client is I able to get the windows to close.
I know it is related to the receberDadosServidor() method but I don't understand why, from the Interface, to block.
private void receberDadosServidor() throws IOException {
String fromServer = null;
while ((fromServer = in.readLine())!= null) {
System.out.println("Servidor: " + fromServer);
areaChat.setText(areaChat.getText() + "\n" + fromServer);
}
private void formWindowOpened(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) {
areaChat.setText("BEM-VINDO \t" + userClass.getNome());
connectServer();
try {
receberDadosServidor();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ConversaGrupo.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

public class server {
/**

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
ServerSocket srvSckt = null;
int porto = 2048;
boolean listening = true;
//conecao ao servidor
try {
srvSckt = new ServerSocket(porto);
System.out.println("Conecção ao Servidor efectuada com sucesso!");
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.err.println("Impossível coneção a porta \t" + porto);
}
Socket clientSocket = null;
clientSocket = srvSckt.accept(); //espera por pedidos de clientes.
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(),
true);

// out.println(in.readLine());
while (listening) {
out.println(in.readLine());
}
srvSckt.close();
clientSocket.close();
out.close();
in.close();
}
}
Below I leave the example of the graphical Interface, where in TextArea nothing appears. Everything is locked and I can only close the window if I stop running the program.
Solution I added a thread to the client class so there is no competition between the interface and the socket.
Thread recever = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
receberDadosServidor();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ConversaGrupo.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
};
recever.start();

//devido a concorrencia de recursos, necessitamos de uma thread.
Thread recever = new Thread() {
public void run() {
try {
receberDadosServidor();
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ConversaGrupo.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
};
recever.start();
