java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument: connect

Server.java:

Answer 1

Also check if your IDE is using the JRE which you expect.
I had same issue:

java.sql.SQLException: JZ006: Caught IOException: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument: create

When I checked my run configuration, my default JRE was pointing to 'Project Execution Environment 'JavaSE1.7' which was not I was expecting.

I changed it to option Alternate JRE and set the JAVA 8 as installed jre. which has solved my problem.
