public class Socket extends Object implements Closeable
This class implements client sockets (also called just "sockets"). A socket is an endpoint for communication between two machines.The actual work of the socket is performed by an instance of the
SocketImpl
class. An application, by changing the socket factory that creates the socket implementation, can configure itself to create sockets appropriate to the local firewall.- Since:

Socket
public Socket(Proxy proxy)
Creates an unconnected socket, specifying the type of proxy, if any, that should be used regardless of any other settings.If there is a security manager, its
checkConnect
method is called with the proxy host address and port number as its arguments. This could result in a SecurityException.Examples:
Socket s = new Socket(Proxy.NO_PROXY);
will create a plain socket ignoring any other proxy configuration.Socket s = new Socket(new Proxy(Proxy.Type.SOCKS, new InetSocketAddress("socks.mydom.com", 1080)));
will create a socket connecting through the specified SOCKS proxy server.
- Parameters:
proxy
- aProxy
object specifying what kind of proxying should be used.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the proxy is of an invalid type ornull
.SecurityException

If the timeout expires, a java.net.SocketTimeoutException is raised, though the Socket 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.- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- JDK 1.1
- See Also:
getSoTimeout()
-

SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- JDK1.1
- See Also:
setSoTimeout(int)
-
setSendBufferSize
public void setSendBufferSize(int size) throws SocketException
Sets the SO_SNDBUF option to the specified value for this Socket. The SO_SNDBUF option is used by the platform's networking code as a hint for the size to set the underlying network I/O buffers.Because SO_SNDBUF is a hint, applications that want to verify what size the buffers were set to should call
getSendBufferSize()
.- Parameters:
size
- the size to which to set the send buffer size. This value must be greater than 0.- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.IllegalArgumentException
- if the value is 0 or is negative.- Since:
- 1.2

public int getSendBufferSize() throws SocketException
Get value of the SO_SNDBUF option for this Socket, that is the buffer size used by the platform for output on this Socket.- Returns:
- the value of the SO_SNDBUF option for this Socket.
- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- 1.2
- See Also:
setSendBufferSize(int)
-
setReceiveBufferSize
public void setReceiveBufferSize(int size) throws SocketException
Sets the SO_RCVBUF option to the specified value for this Socket. The SO_RCVBUF option is used by the platform's networking code as a hint for the size to set the underlying network I/O buffers.Increasing the receive buffer size can increase the performance of network I/O for high-volume connection, while decreasing it can help reduce the backlog of incoming data.
Because SO_RCVBUF is a hint, applications that want to verify what size the buffers were set to should call
getReceiveBufferSize()
.The value of SO_RCVBUF is also used to set the TCP receive window that is advertized to the remote peer. Generally, the window size can be modified at any time when a socket is connected. However, if a receive window larger than 64K is required then this must be requested before the socket is connected to the remote peer. There are two cases to be aware of:
- For sockets accepted from a ServerSocket, this must be done by calling
ServerSocket.setReceiveBufferSize(int)
before the ServerSocket is bound to a local address. - For client sockets, setReceiveBufferSize() must be called before connecting the socket to its remote peer.
- Parameters:
size
- the size to which to set the receive buffer size. This value must be greater than 0.- Throws:
IllegalArgumentException
- if the value is 0 or is negative.SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- 1.2
- See Also:
getReceiveBufferSize()
,ServerSocket.setReceiveBufferSize(int)
- For sockets accepted from a ServerSocket, this must be done by calling
-
getReceiveBufferSize
public int getReceiveBufferSize() throws SocketException
Gets the value of the SO_RCVBUF option for this Socket, that is the buffer size used by the platform for input on this Socket.- Returns:
- the value of the SO_RCVBUF option for this Socket.
- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- 1.2
- See Also:
setReceiveBufferSize(int)
-
setKeepAlive
public void setKeepAlive(boolean on) throws SocketException
Enable/disable SO_KEEPALIVE.- Parameters:
on
- whether or not to have socket keep alive turned on.- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- 1.3
- See Also:
getKeepAlive()
-
getKeepAlive
public boolean getKeepAlive() throws SocketException
Tests if SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled.- Returns:
- a
boolean
indicating whether or not SO_KEEPALIVE is enabled. - Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- 1.3
- See Also:
setKeepAlive(boolean)
-
setTrafficClass
public void setTrafficClass(int tc) throws SocketException
Sets traffic class or type-of-service octet in the IP header for packets sent from this Socket. As the underlying network implementation may ignore this value applications should consider it a hint.The tc must be in the range
0 <= tc <= 255
or an IllegalArgumentException will be thrown.Notes:
For Internet Protocol v4 the value consists of an
integer
, the least significant 8 bits of which represent the value of the TOS octet in IP packets sent by the socket. RFC 1349 defines the TOS values as follows:IPTOS_LOWCOST (0x02)
IPTOS_RELIABILITY (0x04)
IPTOS_THROUGHPUT (0x08)
IPTOS_LOWDELAY (0x10)
Setting bits in the precedence field may result in a SocketException indicating that the operation is not permitted.
As RFC 1122 section 4.2.4.2 indicates, a compliant TCP implementation should, but is not required to, let application change the TOS field during the lifetime of a connection. So whether the type-of-service field can be changed after the TCP connection has been established depends on the implementation in the underlying platform. Applications should not assume that they can change the TOS field after the connection.
For Internet Protocol v6
tc
is the value that would be placed into the sin6_flowinfo field of the IP header.- Parameters:
tc
- anint
value for the bitset.- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error setting the traffic class or type-of-service- Since:

getTrafficClass
public int getTrafficClass() throws SocketException
Gets traffic class or type-of-service in the IP header for packets sent from this SocketAs the underlying network implementation may ignore the traffic class or type-of-service set using
setTrafficClass(int)
this method may return a different value than was previously set using thesetTrafficClass(int)
method on this Socket.- Returns:
- the traffic class or type-of-service already set
- Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error obtaining the traffic class or type-of-service value.- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
setTrafficClass(int)

setReuseAddress
public void setReuseAddress(boolean on) throws SocketException
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
bind(SocketAddress)
allows the socket to be bound even though a previous connection is in a timeout state.When a Socket is created the initial setting of SO_REUSEADDR is disabled.
The behaviour when SO_REUSEADDR is enabled or disabled after a socket is bound (See
isBound()
) is not defined.- Parameters:
on
- whether to enable or disable the socket option- Throws:
SocketException
- if an error occurs enabling or disabling the SO_RESUEADDR socket option, or the socket is closed.- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
getReuseAddress()
,bind(SocketAddress)
,isClosed()
,isBound()
-
getReuseAddress
public boolean getReuseAddress() throws SocketException
Tests if SO_REUSEADDR is enabled.- Returns:
- a
boolean
indicating whether or not SO_REUSEADDR is enabled. - Throws:
SocketException
- if there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
setReuseAddress(boolean)
-
close
public void close() throws IOException
Closes this socket.Any thread currently blocked in an I/O operation upon this socket will throw a
SocketException
.Once a socket has been closed, it is not available for further networking use (i.e. can't be reconnected or rebound). A new socket needs to be created.
Closing this socket will also close the socket's
InputStream
andOutputStream
.If this socket has an associated channel then the channel is closed as well.
- Specified by:
close
in interfaceCloseable
- Specified by:
close
in interfaceAutoCloseable
- Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs when closing this socket.- See Also:
isClosed()
-
shutdownInput
public void shutdownInput() throws IOException
Places the input stream for this socket at "end of stream". Any data sent to the input stream side of the socket is acknowledged and then silently discarded.If you read from a socket input stream after invoking shutdownInput() on the socket, the stream will return EOF.
- Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.- Since:
- 1.3
- See Also:
shutdownOutput()
,close()
,setSoLinger(boolean, int)
,isInputShutdown()
-
shutdownOutput
public void shutdownOutput() throws IOException
Disables the output stream for this socket. For a TCP socket, any previously written data will be sent followed by TCP's normal connection termination sequence. If you write to a socket output stream after invoking shutdownOutput() on the socket, the stream will throw an IOException.- Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs when shutting down this socket.- Since:
- 1.3
- See Also:
shutdownInput()
,close()
,setSoLinger(boolean, int)
,isOutputShutdown()
-
toString
public String toString()
Converts this socket to aString
.
-
isConnected
public boolean isConnected()
Returns the connection state of the socket.Note: Closing a socket doesn't clear its connection state, which means this method will return
true
for a closed socket (seeisClosed()
) if it was successfuly connected prior to being closed.- Returns:
- true if the socket was successfuly connected to a server
- Since:
- 1.4
-
isBound
public boolean isBound()
Returns the binding state of the socket.Note: Closing a socket doesn't clear its binding state, which means this method will return
true
for a closed socket (seeisClosed()
) if it was successfuly bound prior to being closed.- Returns:
- true if the socket was successfuly bound to an address
- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
bind(java.net.SocketAddress)
-
isClosed
public boolean isClosed()
Returns the closed state of the socket.- Returns:
- true if the socket has been closed
- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
close()
-
isInputShutdown
public boolean isInputShutdown()
Returns whether the read-half of the socket connection is closed.- Returns:
- true if the input of the socket has been shutdown
- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
shutdownInput()
-
isOutputShutdown
public boolean isOutputShutdown()
Returns whether the write-half of the socket connection is closed.- Returns:
- true if the output of the socket has been shutdown
- Since:
- 1.4
- See Also:
shutdownOutput()
-
setSocketImplFactory
public static void setSocketImplFactory(SocketImplFactory fac) throws IOException
Sets the client socket implementation factory for the application. The factory can be specified only once.When an application creates a new client 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.- Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs when setting the socket factory.SocketException
- if the factory is already defined.SecurityException
- if a security manager exists and itscheckSetFactory
method doesn't allow the operation.- See Also:
SocketImplFactory.createSocketImpl()
,SecurityManager.checkSetFactory()
-
setPerformancePreferences
public void setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime, int latency, int bandwidth)
Sets performance preferences for this socket.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. Negative values represent a lower priority than positive values. 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 connected will have no effect.
- Parameters:
connectionTime
- An int expressing the relative importance of a short connection timelatency
- An int expressing the relative importance of low latencybandwidth
- An int expressing the relative importance of high bandwidth- Since:
- 1.5
