javax.net: abstract public class: ServerSocketFactory

javax.net
abstract public class: ServerSocketFactory [javadoc | source]

java.lang.Object
   javax.net.ServerSocketFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:
SSLServerSocketFactory, DefaultSSLServerSocketFactory, DefaultServerSocketFactory, VanillaServerSocketFactory

This class creates server sockets. It may be subclassed by other factories, which create particular types of server sockets. This provides a general framework for the addition of public socket-level functionality. It is the server side analogue of a socket factory, and similarly provides a way to capture a variety of policies related to the sockets being constructed.

Like socket factories, server Socket factory instances have methods used to create sockets. There is also an environment specific default server socket factory; frameworks will often use their own customized factory.

Method from javax.net.ServerSocketFactory Detail:
public ServerSocket createServerSocket() throws IOException { throw new SocketException("Unbound server sockets not implemented"); } Returns an unbound server socket. The socket is configured with the socket options (such as accept timeout) given to this factory.
abstract public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port) throws IOException Returns a server socket bound to the specified port. The socket is configured with the socket options (such as accept timeout) given to this factory. If there is a security manager, its `checkListen` method is called with the `port` argument as its argument to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.
abstract public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port, int backlog) throws IOException Returns a server socket bound to the specified port, and uses the specified connection backlog. The socket is configured with the socket options (such as accept timeout) given to this factory. The `backlog` argument must be a positive value greater than 0. If the value passed if equal or less than 0, then the default value will be assumed. If there is a security manager, its `checkListen` method is called with the `port` argument as its argument to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.
abstract public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port, int backlog, InetAddress ifAddress) throws IOException Returns a server socket bound to the specified port, with a specified listen backlog and local IP. The `ifAddress` argument can be used on a multi-homed host for a `ServerSocket` that will only accept connect requests to one of its addresses. If `ifAddress` is null, it will accept connections on all local addresses. The socket is configured with the socket options (such as accept timeout) given to this factory. The `backlog` argument must be a positive value greater than 0. If the value passed if equal or less than 0, then the default value will be assumed. If there is a security manager, its `checkListen` method is called with the `port` argument as its argument to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.
public static ServerSocketFactory getDefault() { synchronized (ServerSocketFactory.class) { if (theFactory == null) { // // Different implementations of this method could // work rather differently. For example, driving // this from a system property, or using a different // implementation than JavaSoft's. // theFactory = new DefaultServerSocketFactory(); } } return theFactory; } Returns a copy of the environment's default socket factory.
