Known Direct Subclasses |
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.

ServerSocket createServerSocket (int port)
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.
Parameters | |
---|---|
port |
int :
the port to listen to |
Returns | |
---|---|
ServerSocket |
the ServerSocket |
Throws | |

IOException |
for networking errors |
SecurityException |
if a security manager exists and its
checkListen method doesn't allow the operation. |
IllegalArgumentException |
if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values, which is between 0 and 65535, inclusive. |

ServerSocket createServerSocket (int port, int backlog, InetAddress ifAddress)
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.
Parameters | |

port |
int :
the port to listen to |

int :

InetAddress :
