java.nio.channels.ServerSocketChannel

A selectable channel for stream-oriented listening sockets.

Server-socket channels are not a complete abstraction of listening network sockets. Binding and the manipulation of socket options must be done through an associated java.net.ServerSocket object obtained by invoking the socket method. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary, pre-existing server socket, nor is it possible to specify the java.net.SocketImpl object to be used by a server socket associated with a server-socket channel.

A server-socket channel is created by invoking the open method of this class. 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 of an associated server socket.

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

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 java.net.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.

return	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
Throws	ClosedChannelException: If this channel is closed
Throws	AsynchronousCloseException: If another thread closes this channel while the accept operation is in progress
Throws	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
Throws	NotYetBoundException: If this channel's socket has not yet been bound
Throws	SecurityException: If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the remote endpoint of the new connection
Throws	IOException: If some other I/O error occurs

Opens a server-socket channel.

The new channel is created by invoking the openServerSocketChannel method of the system-wide default java.nio.channels.spi.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.

return	A new socket channel
Throws	IOException: If an I/O error occurs

Retrieves a server socket associated with this channel.

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

return

A server socket associated with this channel

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.

return

The valid-operation set
