Java Networking Tutorials

In this Tutorials section we cover and explain Method of Socket Classes in details for freshers and experienced

Methods Of the Socket Class

Socket is a logical end point of connection, from application programmer point of view socket is a process that is used by an application to send and received data over the network. A socket handle protocol spacific details on be half of application, To facilited communication using different protocol concurrently concept of port are introduced (a port is a number socket port no-02102 are reserved for standard protocol such as TCP/IP, HTTP,SMTP,FTP etc.)

Java.net .Socket class provide object represebtive of Tcp\Ip Socket , Socket object can be created either following two ways:

public Socket (String hostName, int port)throws Unknown Host Exception,IO Exception;
public Socket(InetAddress hostName, int port)throws Unknown Host Exception,IO Exception;

So the Method is Socket Class

get Input Stream()

Returns in Input Stream to read data of the Socket.

public InputStream.getInputStream();

get Output Stream()

Returns an outputStream to write data to a Socket.

public OutputStream.getOutputStream();

Close(): close the connection;

public void close();
