Question

I was running a few tests with sockets, and I encountered some strange behavior: A ServerSocket will refuse connections after the 50th client Socket connects to it, even if

Here's an example that works, in accordance with @TomaszNurkiewicz's answer:

import java.net.*;
import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicBoolean;

public class SockTest{
public static void main(String[] args) {
    final AtomicBoolean shouldRun = new AtomicBoolean(true);
    try  {
        final ServerSocket server = new ServerSocket(2123);
        Thread serverThread = new Thread(){
           public void run() {
              try {
                 while(shouldRun.get()) {
                 Socket s = server.accept();
                 s.close();
             Thread.sleep(1);
                }
              } catch(Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
              }
           }
        };
        serverThread.start();
        Socket[] clients = new Socket[150];
        for (int i = 0; i < clients.length; i++) {
            clients[i] = new Socket("localhost", 2123);
            System.out.printf("Client %2d: " + clients[i] + "%n", i);
            clients[i].close();
        }
        shouldRun.set(false);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } finally {
       shouldRun.set(false);
    }

  }
}
