This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences.

Package java.net

Interface Summary
ContentHandlerFactory This interface defines a factory for content handlers.
CookiePolicy CookiePolicy implementations decide which cookies should be accepted and which should be rejected.
CookieStore A CookieStore object represents a storage for cookie.
DatagramSocketImplFactory This interface defines a factory for datagram socket implementations.
FileNameMap A simple interface which provides a mechanism to map between a file name and a MIME type string.
SocketImplFactory This interface defines a factory for socket implementations.
SocketOptions Interface of methods to get/set socket options.
URLStreamHandlerFactory This interface defines a factory for URL stream protocol handlers.
 

Class Summary
Authenticator The class Authenticator represents an object that knows how to obtain authentication for a network connection.
CacheRequest Represents channels for storing resources in the ResponseCache.
CacheResponse Represent channels for retrieving resources from the ResponseCache.
ContentHandler The abstract class ContentHandler is the superclass of all classes that read an Object from a URLConnection.
CookieHandler A CookieHandler object provides a callback mechanism to hook up a HTTP state management policy implementation into the HTTP protocol handler.
CookieManager CookieManager provides a concrete implementation of java.net.CookieHandler, which separates the storage of cookies from the policy surrounding accepting and rejecting cookies.
DatagramPacket This class represents a datagram packet.
DatagramSocket This class represents a socket for sending and receiving datagram packets.
DatagramSocketImpl Abstract datagram and multicast socket implementation base class.
HttpCookie An HttpCookie object represents an http cookie, which carries state information between server and user agent.
HttpURLConnection A URLConnection with support for HTTP-specific features.
IDN Provides methods to convert internationalized domain names (IDNs) between a normal Unicode representation and an ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) representation.
Inet4Address This class represents an Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) address.
Inet6Address This class represents an Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address.
InetAddress This class represents an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
InetSocketAddress This class implements an IP Socket Address (IP address + port number) It can also be a pair (hostname + port number), in which case an attempt will be made to resolve the hostname.
InterfaceAddress This class represents a Network Interface address.
JarURLConnection A URL Connection to a Java ARchive (JAR) file or an entry in a JAR file.
MulticastSocket The multicast datagram socket class is useful for sending and receiving IP multicast packets.
NetPermission This class is for various network permissions.
NetworkInterface This class represents a Network Interface made up of a name, and a list of IP addresses assigned to this interface.
PasswordAuthentication The class PasswordAuthentication is a data holder that is used by Authenticator.
Proxy This class represents a proxy setting, typically a type (http, socks) and a socket address.
ProxySelector Selects the proxy server to use, if any, when connecting to the network resource referenced by a URL.
ResponseCache Represents implementations of URLConnection caches.
SecureCacheResponse Represents a cache response originally retrieved through secure means, such as TLS.
ServerSocket This class implements server sockets.
Socket This class implements client sockets (also called just "sockets").
SocketAddress This class represents a Socket Address with no protocol attachment.
SocketImpl The abstract class SocketImpl is a common superclass of all classes that actually implement sockets.
SocketPermission This class represents access to a network via sockets.
URI Represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) reference.
URL Class URL represents a Uniform Resource Locator, a pointer to a "resource" on the World Wide Web.
URLClassLoader This class loader is used to load classes and resources from a search path of URLs referring to both JAR files and directories.
URLConnection The abstract class URLConnection is the superclass of all classes that represent a communications link between the application and a URL.
URLDecoder Utility class for HTML form decoding.
URLEncoder Utility class for HTML form encoding.
URLStreamHandler The abstract class URLStreamHandler is the common superclass for all stream protocol handlers.
 

Enum Summary
Authenticator.RequestorType The type of the entity requesting authentication.
Proxy.Type Represents the proxy type.
 

Exception Summary
BindException Signals that an error occurred while attempting to bind a socket to a local address and port.
ConnectException Signals that an error occurred while attempting to connect a socket to a remote address and port.
HttpRetryException Thrown to indicate that a HTTP request needs to be retried but cannot be retried automatically, due to streaming mode being enabled.
MalformedURLException Thrown to indicate that a malformed URL has occurred.
NoRouteToHostException Signals that an error occurred while attempting to connect a socket to a remote address and port.
PortUnreachableException Signals that an ICMP Port Unreachable message has been received on a connected datagram.
ProtocolException Thrown to indicate that there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.
SocketException Thrown to indicate that there is an error in the underlying protocol, such as a TCP error.
SocketTimeoutException Signals that a timeout has occurred on a socket read or accept.
UnknownHostException Thrown to indicate that the IP address of a host could not be determined.
UnknownServiceException Thrown to indicate that an unknown service exception has occurred.
URISyntaxException Checked exception thrown to indicate that a string could not be parsed as a URI reference.
