2. Contents The ServerSocket class Examples

3. Server Socket A socket is a connection between two hosts Client connects to a Server and requests services from the server Servers are like receptionists who sit by the phone and wait for incoming call. Servers don’t know in advance who will call Java uses ServerSocket for servers

4. ServerSocket Basic life cycle of a server: – A new ServerSocket is created on a particular port using a ServerSocket() constructor – The ServerSocket linstens for incoming connection on the port (method accept() blocks until a client attempt to make a connect) – Server accepts a connection and returns a Socket objects connecting the client and the server – Using Socket’s getInputStream() and getOutputStream for sending to and receiving data from the client – The client, the server or both close the connection

5. ServerSocket ServerSocket public ServerSocket(int port) –Creates a server socket on a specified port. –A port of 0 creates a socket on any free port. –The maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) is set to 50. –If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.

6. ServerSocket public ServerSocket(int port, int backlog) –Creates a server socket and binds it to the specified local port number, with the specified backlog. –A port number of 0 creates a socket on any free port. –The maximum queue length for incoming connection indications (a request to connect) is set to the backlog parameter. –If a connection indication arrives when the queue is full, the connection is refused.

7. ServerSocket public ServerSocket(int port, int backlog, InetAddress bindAddr) –Create a server with the specified port, listen backlog, and local IP address to bind to. –The bindAddr argument can be used on a multi- homed host for a ServerSocket that will only accept connect requests to one of its addresses. –If bindAddr is null, it will default accepting connections on any/all local addresses. –The port must be between 0 and 65535, inclusive.

8. ServerSocket Example Example 11-1 LocalPortScan on page 353 List all the services for this machine Output from Win 2000: There is a server on port 135. There is a server on port 139. There is a server on port 445. There is a server on port 1028. There is a server on port 1041. There is a server on port 1204. There is a server on port 2145. There is a server on port 2348. There is a server on port 3207. There is a server on port 8888.

9. ServerSocket public Socket accept() –Listens for a connection to be made to this socket and accepts it. –The method blocks until a connection is made. –A new Socket s is created and, if there is a security manager, the security manager's checkAccept method is called with s.getInetAddress().getHostAddress() and s.getPort() as its arguments to ensure the operation is allowed. –This could result in a SecurityException. –Returns:the new Socket

10. ServerSocket Example 11-2 (Daytime Server) on page 357 No new thread is created for incoming call Current date is returned

11. ServerSocket Information public int getLocalPort() –Returns the port on which this socket is listening. public InetAddress getInetAddress() – Returns the local address of this server socket. – null if the socket is not yet connected. Example 11-4 RandomPort on page 362

12. Closing the ServerSocket public void close() –Closes this socket. Example for (int port = 1; port <= 65535; port++) { try { ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(port); server.close(); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(“Server on port " + port + "."); } // end try } // end for

13. ServerSocket Options Accept will wait for an incoming connection for SO_TIMEOUT milliseconds. public void setSoTimeout(int timeout) –With this option set to a non-zero timeout, a call to accept() for this ServerSocket will block for only this amount of time. –If the timeout expires, a java.io.InterruptedIOException is raised –The option must be enabled prior to entering the blocking operation to have effect. –A timeout of zero is interpreted as an infinite timeout.

14. ServerSocket Options public int getSoTimeout() –Retrive setting for SO_TIMEOUT. –0 returns implies that the option is disabled (i.e., timeout of infinity). Examples in page 363

15. Client Test Example 11-5 on page 365 InputThread reads data from IE OuputThread sends data to IE

16. Single File Server Page 370 InputThread and OutputThread are executed in parallel. Can send a file to say IE or Netscape

17. Redirector Redirector redirects users from one web site to another See Example 11-7. Try telnet 140.129.20.250 80 –type GET / HTTP 1.0 (get index.html) –response: HTTP 1.0 302 found ….. java Redirector http://140.129.20.250/http://140.129.20.250/ –Redirect all http requests to 140.129.20.250

18. Redirector Ask Browser to redirect the request to newSite out.write("HTTP/1.0 302 FOUND\r\n"); -- tell client to expect to be redirected out.write("Date: " + now + "\r\n"); -- optional (give current time of server) out.write("Server: Redirector 1.0\r\n"); -- Optional (version of the server) out.write("Location: " + newSite + theFile + "\r\n"); -- redirect to newSite

19. Redirector Note that some browser does not support redirection (OK for IE 5.0 and up and Netscape 4.7 and up) –Print the website is moved to newSite message. –See page 378 ( Document moved ….) –You may telnet to request redirector service Can be used to –firewall and –load balance control Thread pool provides better performance

20. JHTTP JHTTP: Full-blown HTTP server JHTTP can serve an entire document tree –Images –Applets –HTML and text files JHTTP uses thread pool to serve request –Threads are created when the server is started –If there is no request, thread are put to sleep (wait) –A request from a client will wake up all threads in the thread pool for service (notifyAll)

21. JHTTP When the thread is serving the request, it is just like a simple file transfer. –JHTTP thread: check (parse) the request and send the response –JHTTP thread: close the connection and go to sleep if there is no more request to be service

22. JHTTP JHTTP is functional but still rather simple A few features that can be added –A server administration interface –Support CGI programs and/or Java Servlet API –Support for other request methods such as POST, HEAD, and PUT –Server-side includes and/or Java server page – …

23. JHTTP Performance Issues –Use Just-in-time compiler such as Hotspot 2x ~ 10x –Smart caching Use Hashtable Use low-priority thread to update the cache
