Connect two client sockets

Question

Let\'s say Java has two kind of sockets:

• server sockets \"ServerSocket\"
• client sockets or just \"Socket\"

Imagine the situation of two

Answer 1

Why would you need to do that?

If you want to have a "peer-to-peer" type system, then you just have each client run both a client and a server socket - the server socket for accepting connections from other clients and the client socket for establishing connections to others.

ETA: It wasn't entirely clear what you were asking in the original question, but since your edit, it seems like you are looking to create a sort of proxy server.

In your example, your app would create two client sockets, one connecting to the VNCServer and the other connecting to the "middle server". The "middle server" would then have two server sockets (one for your app to connect to and one for the user to connect to. Internally it would then need to know how to match those sockets up and shuttle data between the two.
