The JDK's implementation for socket usage certainly is built to confuse.
I don't have too much problem with the SocketImpl or SocketImplFactory
ideas (someone been reading Design Patterns?), but given that I am to
subclass the abstract SocketImpl, I'm a bit taken back. First off,
that is quite a big class to say, 'oh btw, implement ALL these methods'.
Whilst looking for some semblence of an example I run across
PlainSocketImpl.java in the source lib. Yeah! a subclass example!
Boo! Half the important methods are native?! Can't this magic be done in
Java?
So, just for yuks, lets say I wanted to per se 'use' this socket class.
I am quite willing to put in the work to subclass the SocketImpl class.
How the heck do I this? (Please no one say go use sun.net.NetworkServer, etc.
yes I know thats an easy way out but it would seem the official API should
be usable too)
Any help, CODE, suggestions, CODE, comments, or CODE would be appreciated.
cheers,
Paul
