Java Socket isInputShutdown() method

The isInputShutdown () method of Java Socket class returns a Boolean value 'true' if the read-half of the socket connection has been closed, else it returns false.

Syntax

Parameter

Return

The isInputShutdown () method returns a Boolean value 'true' if the socket has been shut down successfully.

Example 1

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;
public class JavaSocketIsInputShutdownExample1  {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        //calling the constructor of the socket class
        Socket socket = new Socket();
        InetAddress inetAddress=InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
        //the port should be greater or equal to 0, else it will throw an error
        int port=1085;
        //calling the constructor of the SocketAddress class
        SocketAddress socketAddress=new InetSocketAddress(inetAddress, port);
        //binding the socket with inetAddress and port
        socket.bind(socketAddress);
        //the connection will not establish without binding the socket with bind() method
        socket.connect(socketAddress);
        //socket is closed
        socket.close();
        //isConnected() method returns the connected state of the socket
        //It will continue to return the connection state that was prior to being closed.
        System.out.println("The socket is connected: "+socket.isConnected());
        //isBound() method returns the binding state of the socket
        System.out.println("The socket is bounded: "+socket.isBound());
        //isInputShutdown() returns if the read-half of the socket connection is closed or not.
        System.out.println("Input is shutdown: "+socket.isInputShutdown());
    }
}

Output:

The socket is connected: true
The socket is bounded: true
Input is shutdown: false

Example 2

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.*;
public class JavaSocketIsInputShutdownExample2  {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        //calling the constructor of the socket class

        InetAddress inetAddress=InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
        //the port should be greater or equal to 0, else it will throw an error
        int port=1085;
        //calling the constructor of the SocketAddress class
        SocketAddress socketAddress=new InetSocketAddress(inetAddress, port);
        //binding the socket with inetAddress and port
        socket.bind(socketAddress);
        //the connection will not establish without binding the socket with bind() method
        socket.connect(socketAddress);
        //shutting down the input
        socket.shutdownInput();
        //isInputShutdown() returns a Boolean value indicating if the read-half of the socket connection is closed.
        System.out.println("Input is shutdown: "+socket.isInputShutdown());
    }
}

Output:

Input is shutdown: true

        //shutting down the input
        socket.shutdownInput();
        //isInputShutdown() returns a Boolean value indicating if the read-half of the socket connection is closed.
        System.out.println("Input is shutdown: "+socket.isInputShutdown());
