in what way is java.net.Socket threadsafe?

Question

I have a Socket that I am both reading and writing to, via BufferedReaders and BufferedWriters. I\'m not sure which operations are okay to do from separate threads. I would

Answer 1

This is how socketWrite in native code, so it's not thread safe from the code

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL
Java_java_net_SocketOutputStream_socketWrite0(JNIEnv *env, jobject this,
                                              jobject fdObj,
                                              jbyteArray data,
                                              jint off, jint len) {
    char *bufP;
    char BUF[MAX_BUFFER_LEN];
    int buflen;
    int fd;

    if (IS_NULL(fdObj)) {
        JNU_ThrowByName(env, "java/net/SocketException", "Socket closed");
        return;
    } else {
        fd = (*env)->GetIntField(env, fdObj, IO_fd_fdID);
        /* Bug 4086704 - If the Socket associated with this file descriptor
         * was closed (sysCloseFD), the the file descriptor is set to -1.
         */
        if (fd == -1) {
            JNU_ThrowByName(env, "java/net/SocketException", "Socket closed");
            return;
        }

    }

    if (len <= MAX_BUFFER_LEN) {
        bufP = BUF;
        buflen = MAX_BUFFER_LEN;
    } else {
        buflen = min(MAX_HEAP_BUFFER_LEN, len);
        bufP = (char *)malloc((size_t)buflen);

        /* if heap exhausted resort to stack buffer */
        if (bufP == NULL) {
            bufP = BUF;
            buflen = MAX_BUFFER_LEN;
        }
    }

    while(len > 0) {
        int loff = 0;
        int chunkLen = min(buflen, len);
        int llen = chunkLen;
        (*env)->GetByteArrayRegion(env, data, off, chunkLen, (jbyte *)bufP);

        while(llen > 0) {
            int n = NET_Send(fd, bufP + loff, llen, 0);
            if (n > 0) {
                llen -= n;
                loff += n;
                continue;
            }
            if (n == JVM_IO_INTR) {
                JNU_ThrowByName(env, "java/io/InterruptedIOException", 0);
            } else {
                if (errno == ECONNRESET) {
                    JNU_ThrowByName(env, "sun/net/ConnectionResetException",
                                    "Connection reset");
                } else {
                    NET_ThrowByNameWithLastError(env, "java/net/SocketException",
                                                 "Write failed");
                }
            }
            if (bufP != BUF) {
                free(bufP);
            }
            return;
        }
        len -= chunkLen;
        off += chunkLen;
    }

    if (bufP != BUF) {
        free(bufP);
    }
