This class is a javax.net.ServerSocketFactory for creating SSLServerSocket objects. Most applications use the default SSLServerSocketFactory returned by the static getdefault( ) method. Once this SSLServerSocketFactory has been obtained, they use one of the inherited createServerSocket( ) methods to create and optionally bind a new SSLServerSocket . The return value of the createServerSocket( ) methods is a java.net.ServerSocket object, but you can safely cast this object to a SSLServerSocket if you need to. Applications that need to customize the SSL configuration and cannot use the default server socket factory may obtain a custom SSLServerSocketFactory from an SSLContext , which is essentially a factory for socket factories. See SSLContext for details.
