Rejecting connections from a specific IP

[javaplus]

My socket server is working fine. The clients are connecting and are getting the required responses.

The problem is that my server is listening continuously and accepts connection from any IP. I know that I have to implement login mechanism for security, but for the time being I just want to block few IP addresses.

How this can be done?

well ... i probably would create a method which desides if the connecting ip is beeing served or not. takes the ip-address as parameter and returns a boolean.

Thanks. I have to do some experiments with this.
