Class java.net.ServerSocket 

java.lang.Object

   +----java.net.ServerSocket
public final class ServerSocket
extends Object
The server Socket class. It uses a SocketImpl to implement the actual socket operations. It is done this way so that you are able to change socket implementations depending on the kind of firewall that is used. You can change socket implementations by setting the SocketImplFactory.
