Interface SocketFactory

public interface SocketFactory

A factory for (client) sockets. This works similar to SocketFactory, but with the ability to replace/wrap the Streams without having to subclass Socket (and it works with before JDK 1.4, too).

An application may pass an implementation of this interface to the Session to control the creation of outgoing Sockets for port forwardings (to other hosts/ports on the local side) or for the main connection to the remote host.

createSocket

Socket createSocket(String host,
                    int port)
                    throws IOException,
                           UnknownHostException

Creates a Socket connected to a given host/port.

Parameters:

host - the destination host name.

port - the destination port number.

Throws:

IOException

UnknownHostException

getInputStream

InputStream getInputStream(Socket socket)
                           throws IOException

Creates an InputStream for a Socket. The canonical implementation would simply do return socket.getInputStream(), but advanced implementations may wrap the stream.

Parameters:

socket - a socket created with createSocket(java.lang.String, int).

Returns:

an InputStream reading from the socket.

Throws:

IOException

getOutputStream

OutputStream getOutputStream(Socket socket)
                             throws IOException

Creates an OutputStream for a Socket. The canonical implementation would simply do return socket.getOutputStream(), but advanced implementations may wrap the stream.

Parameters:

socket - a socket created with createSocket(java.lang.String, int).

Returns:

an OutputStream writing to the socket.

Throws:

IOException
