Hello everyone.
I am trying to send JSON Data from my JavaScript file to a Java Application.
Since I m not that experienced when it comes to network-programming, i hoped for some help in here.

I managed to get this code from the internet but i dont understand everything.
[CODE lang="java" title="Java HTTP Server code"]package bkServer;


import java.io.BufferedOutputStream;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io_OutputStream;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.ServerSocket;
import java.net.Socket;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
