8235140: Investigate deprecation of the Socket/ServerSocket impl factory mechanism

[pconcannon]

Hi,

Could someone please review my proposed change for JDK-8235140: 'Investigate deprecation of the Socket/ServerSocket impl factory mechanism' ?

This fix proposes to deprecate (for the eventual removal) the API points for statically configuring a system-wide factory for the Socket/SocketServer types in the java.net package. Specifically, the following:

Methods:

• static void ServerSocket.setSocketFactory​(SocketImplFactory fac)
• static void Socket.setSocketImplFactory​(SocketImplFactory fac)

Types:

• java.net SocketImplFactory

This issue is a sub-task to the umbrella issue JDK-8235139: 'Remove the socket impl factory mechanism'. For more information, see https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8235139

Kind regards,
Patrick
