Abstract
A virtual socket replaces the usual JAVA physical socket for interprocess communication between two JAVA processes resident on a single system. The virtual socket is created by loading and making use of the standard-in, standard out process associated with the underlying platform so that data, rather than objects, can be passed from one Java process to another.
