java.net.ServerSocket (JDK 1.0)

This class is used by servers to listen for connection requests from clients. When you create a ServerSocket, you specify the port to listen on. The accept() method begins listening on that port, and blocks until a client requests a connection on that port. At that point, accept() accepts the connection, creating and returning a Socket that the server can use to communicate with the client.
