Interface ServerSocketFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultServerSocketFactory

public interface ServerSocketFactory

Service used to create server sockets. The factory is used so that the exact socket type and underlying transport is abstracted. The sockets created could be proxied, SSL enabled, TLS enabled etc. However clients just care that they return sockets.
