ServerSockets

We may also wish to have a process listening on a port for incoming

calls. Perhaps we’ve written a web browser that stands ready to send HTML content when a connection is made.

The ServerSocket class allows us to capture incoming calls.

ServerSocket outSock = new ServerSocket (6000);

while (true)

{

Socket inSock = outSock.accept();

handleConnection(inSock);

inSock.close(); }
