Problem getting input and output stream from socket in java

I debugged the program and observed that it is stopped when it wants to get input stream from socket:

public Chat(Socket s) throws IOException {
        input = new ObjectInputStream(s.getInputStream()); // stopped here 
        output = new ObjectOutputStream(s.getOutputStream());
        initComponents();
    }

I have closed the open streams and the socket before calling above constructor here:

Socket socket = listeningSocket.accept();
disconnect();
Chat c = new Chat(socket);

and here is the disconnect method:

private void disconnect() throws IOException {
        input.close();
        output.close();
        client.close();
    }

input, output and client are initiated here:

    client = new Socket(chatServer, chatPort);
    input = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
    output = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());

this is the stack trace when the program is suspended:

Thread [main] (Suspended)   
    SocketInputStream.socketRead0(FileDescriptor, byte[], int, int, int) line: not available [native method]    
    SocketInputStream.read(byte[], int, int) line: 146

    Client.access$7(Client) line: 302   
    Client$6.run() line: 350    
    Client.main(String[]) line: 352 

please help thanks :)

From ObjectInputStream's constructor's documentation:

This constructor will block until the corresponding ObjectOutputStream has written and flushed the header.

Is anything being written to the socket from the other end? Are you flushing the stream from the other end?

The ObjectOutputStream's constructor has documentation saying that users may wish to flush to the stream so that inputstreams don't block.

Is it stopping on that line specifically or possibly inside the constructor, or even inside the s.getInputStream() call? Both the constructor and getInputStream() can throw IOException.

Not to belabor the point, but did you jump into the constructor call and the getInputStream() method when you debugged it?

Like Atreys said above it would probably be useful to see the stack trace.
