Class SocketFactory

java.lang.Object
  javax.net.SocketFactory

Direct Known Subclasses:

SSLSocketFactory

public abstract class SocketFactory
extends Object

This class creates sockets. It may be subclassed by other factories, which create particular subclasses of sockets and thus provide a general framework for the addition of public socket-level functionality.

Socket factories are a simple way to capture a variety of policies related to the sockets being constructed, producing such sockets in a way which does not require special configuration of the code which asks for the sockets:

• Due to polymorphism of both factories and sockets, different kinds of sockets can be used by the same application code just by passing it different kinds of factories.
• Factories can themselves be customized with parameters used in socket construction. So for example, factories could be customized to return sockets with different networking timeouts or security parameters already configured.
• The sockets returned to the application can be subclasses of java.net.Socket, so that they can directly expose new APIs for features such as compression, security, record marking, statistics collection, or firewall tunneling.

Factory classes are specified by environment-specific configuration mechanisms. For example, the getDefault method could return a factory that was appropriate for a particular user or applet, and a framework could use a factory customized to its own purposes.

createSocket

public abstract Socket createSocket(String host,
                                    int port)
                             throws IOException,
                                    UnknownHostException

Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host at the specified remote port. This socket is configured using the socket options established for this factory.

Parameters:

host - the server host

port - the server port

Returns:

the Socket

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the socket

UnknownHostException - if the host is not known

createSocket

public abstract Socket createSocket(String host,
                                    int port,

                                    UnknownHostException

Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host on the specified remote port. The socket will also be bound to the local address and port supplied. This socket is configured using the socket options established for this factory.

Parameters:

host - the server host

port - the server port

localHost - the local address the socket is bound to

localPort - the local port the socket is bound to

Returns:

the Socket

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the socket

UnknownHostException - if the host is not known
