- ## Method Details

  - ### createServerSocket

    public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port) throws IOException
    Creates a ServerSocket bound to a specified port. A port of 0 will create the ServerSocket on a system-determined free port.
    Parameters:
      `port` - The port on which to listen, or 0 to use any free port.
    Returns:
      A ServerSocket that will listen on a specified port.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs while creating the ServerSocket.

  - ### createServerSocket

    public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port, int backlog) throws IOException
    Creates a ServerSocket bound to a specified port with a given maximum queue length for incoming connections. A port of 0 will create the ServerSocket on a system-determined free port.
    Parameters:
      `port` - The port on which to listen, or 0 to use any free port.
      `backlog` - The maximum length of the queue for incoming connections.
    Returns:
      A ServerSocket that will listen on a specified port.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs while creating the ServerSocket.

  - ### createServerSocket

    public ServerSocket createServerSocket(int port, int backlog, InetAddress bindAddr) throws IOException
    Creates a ServerSocket bound to a specified port on a given local address with a given maximum queue length for incoming connections. A port of 0 will create the ServerSocket on a system-determined free port.
    Parameters:
      `port` - The port on which to listen, or 0 to use any free port.
      `backlog` - The maximum length of the queue for incoming connections.
      `bindAddr` - The local address to which the ServerSocket should bind.
    Returns:
      A ServerSocket that will listen on a specified port.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs while creating the ServerSocket.

  - ### createSocket

    public Socket createSocket() throws IOException
    Creates an unconnected Socket.
    Overrides:
      `createSocket` in class `SocketFactory`
    Returns:
      A new unconnected Socket.
    Throws:
      `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs while creating the Socket.
    Since:
      3.2
