A factory for creating and connecting sockets.
The factory encapsulates the logic for establishing a socket connection.

 Both Object.equals() and Object.hashCode() must be overridden for the correct operation of some connection managers.

Throws:

Connects a socket to the given host.

Params:
  • sock –  the socket to connect, as obtained from createSocket. null indicates that a new socket
                 should be created and connected.
  • host –      the host to connect to
  • port –      the port to connect to on the host
  • localAddress – the local address to bind the socket to, or
                 null for any
  • localPort – the port on the local machine,
                 0 or a negative number for any
  • params –  additional parameters for connecting
Throws:
Returns: the connected socket. The returned object may be different
         from the sock argument if this factory supports
         a layered protocol.

Checks whether a socket provides a secure connection. The socket must be connected by this factory. The factory will not perform I/O operations
in this method.


As a rule of thumb, plain sockets are not secure and
TLS/SSL sockets are secure. However, there may be
application specific deviations. For example, a plain
socket to a host in the same intranet ("trusted zone")
could be considered secure. On the other hand, a
TLS/SSL socket could be considered insecure based on
the cypher suite chosen for the connection.

Params:
  • sock –      the connected socket to check
Throws:
  • IllegalArgumentException – 
 if the argument is invalid, for example because it is
 not a connected socket or was created by a different
 socket factory.
 Note that socket factories are not required to
 check these conditions, they may simply return a default
 value when called with an invalid socket argument.
Returns: true if the connection of the socket
         should be considered secure, or
         false if it should not
