Class SocketImpl

  +--java.net.SocketImpl

public abstract class SocketImpl
extends Object
implements SocketOptions

The abstract class SocketImpl is a common superclass of all classes that actually implement sockets. It is used to create both client and server sockets.

A "plain" socket implements these methods exactly as described, without attempting to go through a firewall or proxy.

Since:
JDK1.0

SocketImpl

public SocketImpl()
Method Detail

create

protected abstract void create(boolean stream)
                        throws IOException
Creates either a stream or a datagram socket.
Parameters:
stream - if true, create a stream socket; otherwise, create a datagram socket.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs while creating the socket.

connect

protected abstract void connect(String host,
                                int port)
                         throws IOException
Connects this socket to the specified port on the named host.
Parameters:
host - the name of the remote host.
port - the port number.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs when connecting to the remote host.

connect

protected abstract void connect(InetAddress address,
                                int port)
                         throws IOException
Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
Parameters:
address - the IP address of the remote host.
port - the port number.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs when attempting a connection.

bind

protected abstract void bind(InetAddress host,
                             int port)
                      throws IOException
Binds this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
Parameters:
host - the IP address of the remote host.
port - the port number.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs when binding this socket.

listen

protected abstract void listen(int backlog)
                        throws IOException
Sets the maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) to the count argument. If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.
Parameters:
backlog - the maximum length of the queue.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the queue.

accept

protected abstract void accept(SocketImpl s)
                        throws IOException
Accepts a connection.
Parameters:
s - the accepted connection.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs when accepting the connection.

getInputStream

protected abstract InputStream getInputStream()
                                       throws IOException

Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.
Returns:
the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.
Throws:
IOException - if an I/O error occurs when determining the number of bytes available.

close

protected abstract void close()
                       throws IOException
Closes this socket.
