A server socket waits for requests to come in over the network. It performs some operation based on that request, and then possibly returns a result to the requester.

ServerSocket is a class for creating a server side connection for remote clients to connect to,

On client connection success, returns an ordinary socket which can later be used to communicate with the client.

For a connection to be created it requires the portNo. and the maxQueue is optional.

maxQueue means the maximum number of clients that can access the Server.

Syntax :

ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(portNo);

OR

ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(portNo,maxQueue);
