Contents
- A new ServerSocket is created on a port using a ServerSocket() constructor.
- ServerSocket listens on the port using the accept() method.
- Uses getInputStream() and/or getOutputStream().
- Server and client interact using an agreed-upon communication protocol.
- Either the server or the client (or both) close the connection.
- The server goes back to listening with the accept() method.
