The method getNextQuote() is undefined for the type QuoteServerThread

Question

I am following a tutorial about Datagram Networkings on Java. I am creating the UDP Server, I copied the code on the website, but it says that it couldnt find getNextQuote() this function. I was wondering what is wrong here?

public void run(){

    while(moreQuotes){

        try{

    byte[] buf = new byte[256];

    DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buf,buf.length);

    socket.receive(packet);

    InetAddress address = packet.getAddress();

    int port = packet.getPort();

    String dString = null;

    if (in == null)

        dString = new Date().toString();

    else

        dString = getNextQuote();

    buf = dString.getBytes();

    DatagramPacket newPacket = new DatagramPacket(buf,buf.length,address,port);

    socket.send(newPacket);

        } catch(IOException e) {

            e.printStackTrace();

            moreQuotes = false;

        }

Maybe you should copy all functions of class from the tutorial? I past your code to google and find this link which contains whole implementation:

private String getNextQuote()
{
    String returnValue = null;
    try
    {
        if ((returnValue = qfs.readLine()) == null)
        {
            qfs.close();
            this.openInputFile();
            returnValue = qfs.readLine();
        }
    }
    catch (IOException e)
    {
        returnValue = "IOException occurred in server.";
    }
    return returnValue;
}
