junixsocket is a Java/JNI library that allows the use of Unix Domain Sockets (AF_UNIX sockets) from Java.
- In contrast to other implementations, junixsocket extends the Java Sockets API (
java.net.Socket, java.net.SocketAddress, etc.) - Supports RMI over AF_UNIX
- Can connect to local MySQL server via Unix domain sockets (provides a AFUNIXDatabaseSocketFactory for Connector/J).
- Apache 2.0 licensed.
