This helper class is intedned to help work around the limitation of older Java versions (older than 1.4) that prevents from specifying a connection timeout when creating a socket. This factory executes a controller thread overssing the process of socket initialisation. If the socket constructor cannot be created within the specified time limit, the controller terminates and throws an ConnectTimeoutException

This method spawns a controller thread overseeing the process of socket initialisation. If the socket constructor cannot be created within the specified time limit, the controller terminates and throws an ConnectTimeoutException
Params:
  • host – the host name/IP
  • port – the port on the host
  • localAddress – the local host name/IP to bind the socket to
  • localPort – the port on the local machine
  • timeout – the timeout value to be used in milliseconds. If the socket cannot be completed within the given time limit, it will be abandoned
Throws:
Returns:a connected Socket
