Class ConnectException in Java
ConnectException signals that a socket could not be connected to a remote address and port. This means that the remote host could be reached, but is not responding, perhaps because there is no process on that host that is listening on the specified port.
A ConnectException is thrown when a socket connection cannot be established with a remote machine. This type of exception usually indicates that there is no listening process on the remote machine.
