A selectable channel for stream-oriented listening sockets.

A server-socket channel is created by invoking the open method of this class. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary, pre-existing ServerSocket. A newly-created server-socket channel is open but not yet bound. An attempt to invoke the accept method of an unbound server-socket channel will cause a NotYetBoundException to be thrown. A server-socket channel can be bound by invoking one of the bind methods defined by this class.

Socket options are configured using the setOption method. Server-socket channels support the following options:

Socket options
Option Name Description
SO_RCVBUF The size of the socket receive buffer
SO_REUSEADDR Re-use address
Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported.

Server-socket channels are safe for use by multiple concurrent threads.

Initializes a new instance of this class.
Params:
  • provider – The provider that created this channel
/** * Initializes a new instance of this class. * * @param provider * The provider that created this channel */
protected ServerSocketChannel(SelectorProvider provider) { super(provider); }
Opens a server-socket channel.

The new channel is created by invoking the openServerSocketChannel method of the system-wide default SelectorProvider object.

The new channel's socket is initially unbound; it must be bound to a specific address via one of its socket's bind methods before connections can be accepted.

Throws:
Returns: A new socket channel
/** * Opens a server-socket channel. * * <p> The new channel is created by invoking the {@link * java.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider#openServerSocketChannel * openServerSocketChannel} method of the system-wide default {@link * java.nio.channels.spi.SelectorProvider} object. * * <p> The new channel's socket is initially unbound; it must be bound to a * specific address via one of its socket's {@link * java.net.ServerSocket#bind(SocketAddress) bind} methods before * connections can be accepted. </p> * * @return A new socket channel * * @throws IOException * If an I/O error occurs */

Returns an operation set identifying this channel's supported operations.

Server-socket channels only support the accepting of new connections, so this method returns SelectionKey.OP_ACCEPT.

Returns: The valid-operation set

Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for connections.

An invocation of this method is equivalent to the following:

bind(local, 0);
Params:
  • local – The local address to bind the socket, or null to bind to an automatically assigned socket address
Throws:
Returns: This channel

public final ServerSocketChannel bind(SocketAddress local) throws IOException { return bind(local, 0); }
Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for connections.

This method is used to establish an association between the socket and a local address. Once an association is established then the socket remains bound until the channel is closed.

The backlog parameter is the maximum number of pending connections on the socket. Its exact semantics are implementation specific. In particular, an implementation may impose a maximum length or may choose to ignore the parameter altogther. If the backlog parameter has the value 0, or a negative value, then an implementation specific default is used.

Params:
  • local – The address to bind the socket, or null to bind to an automatically assigned socket address
  • backlog – The maximum number of pending connections

public abstract <T> ServerSocketChannel setOption(SocketOption<T> name, T value) throws IOException;
Retrieves a server socket associated with this channel.

The returned object will not declare any public methods that are not declared in the ServerSocket class.

Returns: A server socket associated with this channel

public abstract ServerSocket socket();
Accepts a connection made to this channel's socket.

If this channel is in non-blocking mode then this method will immediately return null if there are no pending connections. Otherwise it will block indefinitely until a new connection is available or an I/O error occurs.

The socket channel returned by this method, if any, will be in blocking mode regardless of the blocking mode of this channel.

This method performs exactly the same security checks as the accept method of the ServerSocket class. That is, if a security manager has been installed then for each new connection this method verifies that the address and port number of the connection's remote endpoint are permitted by the security manager's checkAccept method.

Throws:
  • ClosedChannelException – If this channel is closed
  • AsynchronousCloseException – If another thread closes this channel while the accept operation is in progress
  • ClosedByInterruptException – If another thread interrupts the current thread while the accept operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status
  • NotYetBoundException – If this channel's socket has not yet been bound
  • SecurityException – If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the remote endpoint of the new connection
  • IOException – If some other I/O error occurs
Returns: The socket channel for the new connection, or null if this channel is in non-blocking mode and no connection is available to be accepted

{@inheritDoc}

If there is a security manager set, its checkConnect method is called with the local address and -1 as its arguments to see if the operation is allowed. If the operation is not allowed, a SocketAddress representing the loopback address and the local port of the channel's socket is returned.

Throws:
Returns: The SocketAddress that the socket is bound to, or the SocketAddress representing the loopback address if denied by the security manager, or null if the channel's socket is not bound
