Abstract
Having covered fundamental network protocols and techniques in a generic fashion in Chap. 1, it is now time to consider how those protocols may be used and the techniques implemented in Java. Core package java.net contains a number of very useful classes that allow programmers to carry out network programming very easily. Package java x .net, introduced in J2SE 1.4, contains factory classes for creating sockets in an implementation-independent fashion. Using classes from these packages (primarily from the former), the network programmer can communicate with any server on the Internet or implement his/her own Internet server.
