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

Field Summary

protected InetAddress	address The IP address of the remote end of this socket.
protected FileDescriptor	fd The file descriptor object for this socket.
protected int	localport The local port number to which this socket is connected.
protected int	port The port number on the remote host to which this socket is connected.

Constructor Summary

SocketImpl()

Method Summary

protected abstract void	accept(SocketImpl s) Accepts a connection.
protected abstract int	available() Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this socket without blocking.
protected abstract void	bind(InetAddress host, int port) Binds this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
protected abstract void	close() Closes this socket.
protected abstract void	connect(InetAddress address, int port) Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
protected abstract void	connect(String host, int port) Connects this socket to the specified port on the named host.
protected abstract void	create(boolean stream) Creates either a stream or a datagram socket.
protected FileDescriptor	getFileDescriptor() Returns the value of this socket's fd field.
protected InetAddress	getInetAddress() Returns the value of this socket's address field.
protected abstract InputStream	getInputStream() Returns an input stream for this socket.
protected int	getLocalPort() Returns the value of this socket's localport field.
protected abstract OutputStream	getOutputStream() Returns an output stream for this socket.
protected int	getPort() Returns the value of this socket's port field.
protected abstract void	listen(int backlog) Sets the maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) to the count argument.
String	toString() Returns the address and port of this socket as a String.

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 an input stream for this socket.

Returns:

a stream for reading from this socket.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the input stream.

getOutputStream

protected abstract OutputStream getOutputStream()
                                         throws IOException

Returns an output stream for this socket.

Returns:

an output stream for writing to this socket.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs when creating the output stream.

available

protected abstract int available()
                          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.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs when closing this socket.
