I found an answer from a site that i can call ServerSocket class from one client and socket class from another client. Can i create a peer to peer environment using this process.Is there any other way to implement it? i am using java in my project.

Peer to peer just means that each system can act as client or server, so you need to set each machine to listen on the port that they use to communicate, and switch to server mode when it receives a connection. The other system will become a client when it receives some command from the user.
