Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources] نسخه متنی

This small package defines factory classes for creating sockets and
server sockets. These factory classes can be used to create regular
java.net.Socket and
java.net.ServerSocket objects. More importantly,
however, these factory classes can be subclassed to serve as
factories for other types of sockets such as the SSL-enabled sockets
of the javax.net.ssl package.
