Growing a redirect to a Java server

I have a java server that uses TCP and sockets to connect to an Android application (client) and sends strings (currently taken from the scanner object) which are then displayed as notifications by the client.

stores server code without import.

public class Server {

// define our Main method
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    // set up our Server Socket, set to null for the moment.
    ServerSocket serverSocket = null;
             boolean isConnected = false;

    // Lets try and instantiate our server and define a port number .
    try {
        serverSocket = new ServerSocket(6789);
                isConnected = true;
        System.out.println("***  I am the Server  ***\n");
        // make sure to always catch any exceptions that may occur.
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // always print error to "System.err"
        System.err.println("Could not listen on port: 6789.");
        System.exit(1);
    }

    // We always want to check for connection from Clients, so lets define
    // a for ever loop.
    for (;;) {
        // define a local client socket
        Socket clientSocket = null;
        // lets see if there are any connections and if so, accept it.
        try {
            clientSocket = serverSocket.accept();
            // don't forget to catch your exceptions
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.err.println("Accept failed.");
            System.exit(1);
        }

        // Prepare the input & output streams via the client socket.

        // fancy way of saying we want to be able to read and write data to 
        // the client socket that is connected.

        BufferedReader inFromClient = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                clientSocket.getInputStream()));
        PrintWriter outToClient = new PrintWriter(clientSocket.getOutputStream(),
                true);

              while (isConnected) { 
        // read a sentence from client
        String hiFromClient = inFromClient.readLine();


                    // Set up the logging system and timestamp and log message.

                     Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
         SimpleDateFormat formatter= 
         new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MMM/dd HH:mm:ss");
         String dateNow = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime());


        try{
            // Create file 
            File fstream = new File("log.txt");
                        FileWriter out = new FileWriter(fstream);
                               out.write(hiFromClient + " " + dateNow);

                               //Close the output stream
                               out.close();
                    } catch (Exception e){//Catch exception if any
                           System.err.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
                    }


        // Print the client sentence to the screen
        System.out.println("The Client said: "+hiFromClient);

        // Reply to the client

                    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
                    String sentence = scanner.nextLine();

        outToClient.println(sentence );
                    System.out.println("The Server said: " + sentence);

        }     
        // always remember to close all connections.


        inFromClient.close(); // the reader
        outToClient.close(); // the writer
        clientSocket.close(); // and the client socket
    }
}}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Growl uses port 23053 for notification forwarding. What I hope to do is listen on 23053 and send any of that as a string to a client connected to 6789. Sadly Growl binds the port number so no new socket connection is made.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get notifications from the port number growl is using, or even just use growl as the server for the client itself (client code is very similar to servers, just using Socket instead of ServerSocket)

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, her wrecking my brain

All the best
