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

This class is a javax.net.SocketFactory for
creating SSLSocket objects. Most applications use
the default
SSLSocketFactory
returned by the static getdefault( ) method. Once
this SSLSocketFactory has been obtained, they use
one of the inherited createSocket(
)
methods to create, and optionally connect and bind, a new
SSLSocket. The return value of the
createSocket( ) methods is a
java.net.Socket object, but you can safely cast
this object to a SSLSocket if you need to.
SSLSocketFactory defines one new version of
createSocket( ) in addition to the ones it
inherits from its superclass. This version of the method creates an
SSLSocket that is layered over an existing
Socket object rather than creating a new socket
entirely from scratch.

Applications that need to customize the SSL configuration and cannot
use the default socket factory may obtain a custom
SSLSocketFactory from an
SSLContext, which is essentially a factory for
socket factories. See SSLContext for details.
