Name
SSLSocketFactory
Synopsis
This class is a javax.net.SocketFactory
for
creating SSLSocket
objects. Most applications use
the default
SSLSocketFactory
returned by the static getDefault( )
method. Once
this SSLSocketFactory
has been obtained, they use
one of the inherited createSocket(
)
methods to create, and optionally connect and bind, a new
SSLSocket
. The return value of the
createSocket( )
methods is a
java.net.Socket
object, but you can safely cast
this object to a SSLSocket
if you need to.
SSLSocketFactory
defines one new version of
createSocket( )
in addition to the ones it
inherits from its superclass. This version of the method creates an
SSLSocket
that is layered over an existing
Socket
object rather than creating a new socket
entirely from scratch.
Applications that need to customize the SSL configuration and cannot
use the default socket factory may obtain a custom
SSLSocketFactory
from an
SSLContext
, which is essentially a factory for
socket factories. See SSLContext
for details.
