Method Detail

createSocket

public static java.net.Socket createSocket(java.lang.String a_hostName,
                                           int a_port,
                                           long a_createTimeout)
                                    throws java.lang.Exception

Creates a new Socket. A timeout can be set for this operation and also it is interruptable. If there occured an Exception while creating the Socket, this Exception is thrown. If the creation process was interrupted from outside, an InterrupedException is thrown (but the interrupted flag is not set on the thread). If a timeout was specified and reached, a normal Exception is thrown.

Parameters:

a_hostName - The hostname of the target or null for the loopback interface (see java.net.Socket).

a_port - The port of the target.

a_createTimeout - The timeout for creating the new Socket in milliseconds. A timeout of 0 means to wait forever (until Socket creation is ready).

Returns:

The created Socket.

Throws:

java.lang.Exception
