What have you tried? Show us your code. Where are you stuck?

It all depends on where and how you stored chat data before "saving" and where do you want to save it :-)

Save it into a database. What's the issue?

- database
I recommend the app integrated Apache Derby DB[^]

- text file
I recommend to use a logging solution like Apache log4j[^] to work on with/in style of log files. You can create a default error-log and add another config to save the chat-content in a seperated file. That would make sure that only a decent amount of chat entries are stored and deleted automatically when too old.
