Class javax.net.ServerSocketFactory 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----javax.net.ServerSocketFactory
public abstract class ServerSocketFactory
extends Object
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 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.

o ServerSocketFactory()
Constructor is used only by subclasses.

Method Index

o createServerSocket(int)
Returns a server socket which uses all network interfaces on the host, and is bound to the specified port.
o createServerSocket(int, int)
Returns a server socket which uses all network interfaces on the host, is bound to a the specified port, and uses the specified connection backlog.
o createServerSocket(int, int, InetAddress)
Returns a server socket which uses only the specified network interface on the local host, is bound to a the specified port, and uses the specified connection backlog.
o getDefault()
Returns a copy of the environment's default socket factory.

Constructors

o ServerSocketFactory 
 protected ServerSocketFactory()
Constructor is used only by subclasses.

Methods

o getDefault 
 public static ServerSocketFactory getDefault()
Returns a copy of the environment's default socket factory.

o createServerSocket 
 public abstract ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port) throws IOException
Returns a server socket which uses all network interfaces on the host, and is bound to the specified port.

Parameters:
port - the port to listen to
Throws: IOException
for networking errors
o createServerSocket 
 public abstract ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port,
                                                 int backlog) throws IOException
Returns a server socket which uses all network interfaces on the host, is bound to a 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.

Parameters:
port - the port to listen to
backlog - how many connections are queued
Throws: IOException
for networking errors
o createServerSocket 
 public abstract ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port,
                                                 int backlog,
                                                 InetAddress ifAddress) throws IOException
Returns a server socket which uses only the specified network interface on the local host, is bound to a 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.

Parameters:
port - the port to listen to
backlog - how many connections are queued
ifAddress - the network interface address to use
Throws: IOException
for networking errors
