UNIX socket implementation for Java?

Question

I realize that since UNIX sockets are platform-specific, there has to be some non-Java code involved. Specifically, we\'re interested in using JDBC to connect to a MySQL in

Some searching on the internet has uncovered the following useful-looking library:

Writing a socket factory should be easy enough. Once you've done so, you can pass it to your driver THUSLY.(Wayback Link).

import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.Statement;

import com.mysql.management.driverlaunched.ServerLauncherSocketFactory;

public class ConnectorMXJTestExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        String hostColonPort = "localhost:3336";

        String driver = com.mysql.jdbc.Driver.class.getName();
        String url = "jdbc:mysql://" + hostColonPort + "/" + "?"
                + "socketFactory="
                + ServerLauncherSocketFactory.class.getName();
        String userName = "root";
        String password = "";

        Class.forName(driver);
        Connection conn = null;
        try {
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(url, userName, password);
            Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
            ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT VERSION()");
            rs.next();
            String version = rs.getString(1);
            rs.close();
            stmt.close();

            System.out.println("------------------------");
            System.out.println(version);
            System.out.println("------------------------");
        } finally {
            try {
                conn.close();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
            ServerLauncherSocketFactory.shutdown(hostColonPort);
        }
    }
}
