## Uses of Class
java.net.Socket

Packages that use Socket
java.net | Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.nio.channels | Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.
java.rmi.server | Provides classes and interfaces for supporting the server side of RMI.
javax.net | Provides classes for networking applications.
javax.net.ssl | Provides classes for the secure socket package.

Uses of Socket in java.net

Methods in java.net that return Socket
`Socket` | `ServerSocket.accept()` Listens for a connection to be made to this socket and accepts it.

Methods in java.net with parameters of type Socket
`protected void` | `ServerSocket.implAccept(Socket s)` Subclasses of ServerSocket use this method to override accept() to return their own subclass of socket.

Uses of Socket in java.nio.channels

Methods in java.nio.channels that return Socket
`abstract Socket` | `SocketChannel.socket()` Retrieves a socket associated with this channel.

Uses of Socket in java.rmi.server

Methods in java.rmi.server that return Socket
`abstract Socket` | `RMISocketFactory.createSocket(String host, int port)` Creates a client socket connected to the specified host and port.
`Socket` | `RMIClientSocketFactory.createSocket(String host, int port)` Create a client socket connected to the specified host and port.

Uses of Socket in javax.net

Methods in javax.net that return Socket
`Socket` | `SocketFactory.createSocket()` Creates an unconnected socket.
`abstract Socket` | `SocketFactory.createSocket(String host, int port)` Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host at the specified remote port.
`abstract Socket` | `SocketFactory.createSocket(String host, int port, InetAddress localHost, int localPort)` Creates a socket and connects it to the specified remote host on the specified remote port.
`abstract Socket` | `SocketFactory.createSocket(InetAddress host, int port)` Creates a socket and connects it to the specified port number at the specified address.
`abstract Socket` | `SocketFactory.createSocket(InetAddress address, int port, InetAddress localAddress, int localPort)` Creates a socket and connect it to the specified remote address on the specified remote port.

Uses of Socket in javax.net.ssl

Subclasses of Socket in javax.net.ssl
`class` | `SSLSocket` This class extends `Socket`s and provides secure socket using protocols such as the "Secure Sockets Layer" (SSL) or IETF "Transport Layer Security" (TLS) protocols.

Methods in javax.net.ssl that return Socket
`abstract Socket` | `SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose)` Returns a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the named host, at the given port.

Methods in javax.net.ssl with parameters of type Socket
`String` | `X509KeyManager.chooseClientAlias(String[] keyType, Principal[] issuers, Socket socket)` Choose an alias to authenticate the client side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).
`String` | `X509KeyManager.chooseServerAlias(String keyType, Principal[] issuers, Socket socket)` Choose an alias to authenticate the server side of a secure socket given the public key type and the list of certificate issuer authorities recognized by the peer (if any).
`abstract Socket` | `SSLSocketFactory.createSocket(Socket s, String host, int port, boolean autoClose)` Returns a socket layered over an existing socket connected to the named host, at the given port.
