JAVA TCP/IP Socket Implementation (5)

Server Actions	Instantiate a ServerSocket object
Instantiate a ServerSocket object Receive connections from clients Communicate with clients Recieve data/requests Send data/replys Close the socket	Instantiating a ServerSocket object creates a socket ready to accept client connections Replaces the socket(), listen(), and bind() functions in C / C++ Three common constructors, arguments are... port number port number, listener backlog port number, listener backlog and IP address

import java.net.Socket;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.DataInputStream;
import java.io.DataOutputStream;

ServerSocket acceptSock;                   // Declare the ServerSocket

//  Instantiate a ServerSocket using constructor that takes only the port number
try {
	acceptSock = new ServerSocket(13214);
}

catch(IOException ioe) {
	System.out.println("Error opening server socket: " + ioe.getMessage());
	return;
