java.lang.Object
   java.net.ServerSocket

All known Subclasses:   javax.net.ssl.SSLServerSocket,
ServerSocket
public class ServerSocket implements java.io.Closeable(Code)
This class implements server sockets. A server socket waits for requests to come in over the network. It performs some operation based on that request, and then possibly returns a result to the requester.

The actual work of the server socket is performed by an instance of the SocketImpl class. An application can change the socket factory that creates the socket implementation to configure itself to create sockets appropriate to the local firewall.

Constructor Detail
ServerSocket
public ServerSocket() throws IOException(Code)
Creates an unbound server socket.
exception:
  IOException - IO error when opening the socket.



ServerSocket
public ServerSocket(int port) throws IOException(Code)
Creates a server socket, bound to the specified port. A port number of 0 means that the port number is automatically allocated, typically from an ephemeral port range. This port number can then be retrieved by calling ServerSocket.getLocalPort getLocalPort .

The maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) is set to 50. If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.

If the application has specified a server socket factory, that factory's createSocketImpl method is called to create the actual socket implementation. Otherwise a "plain" socket is created.

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 - the port number, or 0 to use a portnumber that is automatically allocated.
exception:
  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when opening the socket.
exception:
  SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkListen method doesn't allow the operation.
exception:
  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outsidethe specified range of valid port values, which is between0 and 65535, inclusive.

See Also:   java.net.ServerSocket.setSocketFactory(java.net.SocketImplFactory)
See Also:   SecurityManager.checkListen




ServerSocket
public ServerSocket(int port, int backlog) throws IOException(Code)
Creates a server socket and binds it to the specified local port number, with the specified backlog. A port number of 0 means that the port number is automatically allocated, typically from an ephemeral port range. This port number can then be retrieved by calling ServerSocket.getLocalPort getLocalPort .

The maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) is set to the backlog parameter. If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.

If the application has specified a server socket factory, that factory's createSocketImpl method is called to create the actual socket implementation. Otherwise a "plain" socket is created.

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.

The backlog argument must be a positive value greater than 0. If the value passed is equal or less than 0, then the default value will be assumed.


Parameters:
  port - the port number, or 0 to use a portnumber that is automatically allocated.
Parameters:
  backlog - the maximum length of the queue.
exception:
  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when opening the socket.
exception:
  SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkListen method doesn't allow the operation.
exception:
  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outsidethe specified range of valid port values, which is between0 and 65535, inclusive.

ServerSocket
public ServerSocket(int port, int backlog, InetAddress bindAddr) throws IOException(Code)
Create a server with the specified port, listen backlog, and local IP address to bind to. The bindAddr argument can be used on a multi-homed host for a ServerSocket that will only accept connect requests to one of its addresses. If bindAddr is null, it will default accepting connections on any/all local addresses. The port must be between 0 and 65535, inclusive. A port number of 0 means that the port number is automatically allocated, typically from an ephemeral port range. This port number can then be retrieved by calling ServerSocket.getLocalPort getLocalPort .

If there is a security manager, this method calls its checkListen method with the port argument as its argument to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.

The backlog argument must be a positive value greater than 0. If the value passed is equal or less than 0, then the default value will be assumed.


Parameters:
  port - the port number, or 0 to use a portnumber that is automatically allocated.
Parameters:
  backlog - the listen backlog
Parameters:
  bindAddr - the local InetAddress the server will bind to
throws:
  SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkListen method doesn't allow the operation.
throws:
  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when opening the socket.
exception:
  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outsidethe specified range of valid port values, which is between0 and 65535, inclusive.

Method Detail
accept
public Socket accept() throws IOException(Code)
Listens for a connection to be made to this socket and accepts it. The method blocks until a connection is made.

A new Socket s is created and, if there is a security manager, the security manager's checkAccept method is called with s.getInetAddress().getHostAddress() and s.getPort() as its arguments to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.
exception:
  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when waiting for aconnection.
exception:
  SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkAccept method doesn't allow the operation.
exception:
  SocketTimeoutException - if a timeout was previously set with setSoTimeout andthe timeout has been reached.
exception:
  java.nio.channels.IllegalBlockingModeException - if this socket has an associated channel, the channel is innon-blocking mode, and there is no connection ready to beaccepted the new Socket

setPerformancePreferences
public void setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime, int latency, int bandwidth)(Code)
Sets performance preferences for this ServerSocket.

Sockets use the TCP/IP protocol by default. Some implementations may offer alternative protocols which have different performance characteristics than TCP/IP. This method allows the application to express its own preferences as to how these tradeoffs should be made when the implementation chooses from the available protocols.

Performance preferences are described by three integers whose values indicate the relative importance of short connection time, low latency, and high bandwidth. The absolute values of the integers are irrelevant; in order to choose a protocol the values are simply compared, with larger values indicating stronger preferences. If the application prefers short connection time over both low latency and high bandwidth, for example, then it could invoke this method with the values (1, 0, 0). If the application prefers high bandwidth above low latency, and low latency above short connection time, then it could invoke this method with the values (0, 1, 2).

Invoking this method after this socket has been bound will have no effect. This implies that in order to use this capability requires the socket to be created with the no-argument constructor.
Parameters:
  connectionTime - An int expressing the relative importance of a shortconnection time
Parameters:
  latency - An int expressing the relative importance of lowlatency
Parameters:
  bandwidth - An int expressing the relative importance of highbandwidth
since:
   1.5




setReceiveBufferSize
public synchronized void setReceiveBufferSize(int size) throws SocketException(Code)
Sets a default proposed value for the SO_RCVBUF option for sockets accepted from this ServerSocket. The value actually set in the accepted socket must be determined by calling Socket.getReceiveBufferSize after the socket is returned by ServerSocket.accept() .

The value of SO_RCVBUF is used both to set the size of the internal socket receive buffer, and to set the size of the TCP receive window that is advertized to the remote peer.

It is possible to change the value subsequently, by calling Socket.setReceiveBufferSize(int) . However, if the application wishes to allow a receive window larger than 64K bytes, as defined by RFC1323 then the proposed value must be set in the ServerSocket before it is bound to a local address. This implies, that the ServerSocket must be created with the no-argument constructor, then setReceiveBufferSize() must be called and lastly the ServerSocket is bound to an address by calling bind().

Failure to do this will not cause an error, and the buffer size may be set to the requested value but the TCP receive window in sockets accepted from this ServerSocket will be no larger than 64K bytes.
exception:
  SocketException - if there is an errorin the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.
Parameters:
  size - the size to which to set the receive buffersize. This value must be greater than 0.
exception:
  IllegalArgumentException - if the value is 0 or is negative.
since:
   1.4
See Also:   ServerSocket.getReceiveBufferSize




setReuseAddress
public void setReuseAddress(boolean on) throws SocketException(Code)
Enable/disable the SO_REUSEADDR socket option.

When a TCP connection is closed the connection may remain in a timeout state for a period of time after the connection is closed (typically known as the TIME_WAIT state or 2MSL wait state). For applications using a well known socket address or port it may not be possible to bind a socket to the required SocketAddress if there is a connection in the timeout state involving the socket address or port.

Enabling SO_REUSEADDR prior to binding the socket using ServerSocket.bind(SocketAddress) allows the socket to be bound even though a previous connection is in a timeout state.

When a ServerSocket is created the initial setting of SO_REUSEADDR is not defined. Applications can use ServerSocket.getReuseAddress() to determine the initial setting of SO_REUSEADDR.

The behaviour when SO_REUSEADDR is enabled or disabled after a socket is bound (See ServerSocket.isBound() ) is not defined.
Parameters:
  on - whether to enable or disable the socket option
exception:
  SocketException - if an error occurs enabling ordisabling the SO_RESUEADDR socket option,or the socket is closed.

   1.4

See Also:   ServerSocket.bind(SocketAddress)
See Also:   ServerSocket.isBound()
See Also:   ServerSocket.isClosed()




setSoTimeout
public synchronized void setSoTimeout(int timeout) throws SocketException(Code)
Enable/disable SO_TIMEOUT with the specified timeout, in milliseconds. With this option set to a non-zero timeout, a call to accept() for this ServerSocket will block for only this amount of time. If the timeout expires, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised, though the ServerSocket is still valid. The option must be enabled prior to entering the blocking operation to have effect. The timeout must be > 0. A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.
Parameters:
  timeout - the specified timeout, in milliseconds
exception:
  SocketException - if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.
since:
   JDK1.1
See Also:   ServerSocket.getSoTimeout()



setSocketFactory
public static synchronized void setSocketFactory(SocketImplFactory fac) throws IOException(Code)
Sets the server socket implementation factory for the application. The factory can be specified only once.

When an application creates a new server socket, the socket implementation factory's createSocketImpl method is called to create the actual socket implementation.

Passing null to the method is a no-op unless the factory was already set.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkSetFactory method to ensure the operation is allowed. This could result in a SecurityException.
Parameters:
  fac - the desired factory.
exception:
  IOException - if an I/O error occurs when setting thesocket factory.
exception:
  SocketException - if the factory has already been defined.
exception:
  SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkSetFactory method doesn't allow the operation.

See Also:   SecurityManager.checkSetFactory




toString
public String toString()(Code)
Returns the implementation address and implementation port of this socket as a String. a string representation of this socket.
