Uses of Class
java.net.Socket

Packages that use Socket

java.net	Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.nio.channels	Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.rmi.server	Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server side of RMI.
javax.net	Provides classes for networking applications.
javax.net.ssl	Provides classes for the secure socket package.

Uses of Socket in java.net

Methods in java.net that return Socket

Socket

ServerSocket.accept() Listens for a connection to be made to this socket and accepts it.

Methods in java.net with parameters of type Socket

protected void

ServerSocket.implAccept(Socket s) Subclasses of ServerSocket use this method to override accept() to return their own subclass of socket.

Uses of Socket in java.nio.channels

Methods in java.nio.channels that return Socket

abstract Socket

SocketChannel.socket() Retrieves a socket associated with this channel.

Uses of Socket in javax.net.ssl

Subclasses of Socket in javax.net.ssl

class

SSLSocket This class extends Sockets and provides secure socket using protocols such as the "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) or IETF "Transport Layer Security" (TLS) protocols.

Methods in javax.net.ssl that return Socket

abstract Socket

SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) Returns a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the named host, at the given port.

Methods in javax.net.ssl with parameters of type Socket

String	X509KeyManager.chooseClientAlias(String[] keyType, Principal[] issuers, Socket socket) Choose an alias to authenticate the client side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).
String	X509KeyManager.chooseServerAlias(String keyType, Principal[] issuers, Socket socket) Choose an alias to authenticate the server side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).
abstract Socket	SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose) Returns a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the named host, at the given port.
