@Deprecated
public class SocketUtils
extends Object

Simple utility methods for working with network sockets — for example, for finding available ports on localhost.

Within this class, a TCP port refers to a port for a ServerSocket; whereas, a UDP port refers to a port for a DatagramSocket.

SocketUtils was introduced in Spring Framework 4.0, primarily to assist in writing integration tests which start an external server on an available random port. However, these utilities make no guarantee about the subsequent availability of a given port and are therefore unreliable. Instead of using SocketUtils to find an available local port for a server, it is recommended that you rely on a server's ability to start on a random port that it selects or is assigned by the operating system. To interact with that server, you should query the server for the port it is currently using.

Since:

4.0

Constructor Detail

SocketUtils

public SocketUtils()

Deprecated.

Although SocketUtils consists solely of static utility methods, this constructor is intentionally public.

Rationale

Static methods from this class may be invoked from within XML configuration files using the Spring Expression Language (SpEL) and the following syntax.

<bean id="bean1" ... p:port="#{T(org.springframework.util.SocketUtils).findAvailableTcpPort(12000)}" />

If this constructor were private, you would be required to supply the fully qualified class name to SpEL's T() function for each usage. Thus, the fact that this constructor is public allows you to reduce boilerplate configuration with SpEL as can be seen in the following example.

<bean id="socketUtils" class="org.springframework.util.SocketUtils" />
 <bean id="bean1" ... p:port="#{socketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort(12000)}" />
 <bean id="bean2" ... p:port="#{socketUtils.findAvailableTcpPort(30000)}" />
