I see these threads UNIX socket implementation for Java? and http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=713266.
The second link says that Java already supports UNIX Domain Socket. If that's true what class do I need to implement from Java?.
From the first link, it says that Java does not support UNIX Domain Socket. If you need UNIX Domain Socket you must use a 3rd-party library.
So, which is it?

Examining Unix Domain Sockets. To list all listening Unix Domain Sockets, run the ss -xln command. The x flag ensures that only domain sockets are displayed. Netid State Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address:Port Peer Address:Port Process . . . u_str LISTEN 0 5 /tmp/stream.
A Unix domain socket aka UDS or IPC socket (inter-process communication socket) is a data communications endpoint for exchanging data between processes executing on the same host operating system. It is also referred to by its address family AF_UNIX .
Unix sockets are bidirectional. This means that every side can perform both read and write operations. While, FIFOs are unidirectional: it has a writer peer and a reader peer. Unix sockets create less overhead and communication is faster, than by localhost IP sockets.
To create a UNIX domain socket, use the socket function and specify AF_UNIX as the domain for the socket. The z/TPF system supports a maximum number of 16,383 active UNIX domain sockets at any time. After a UNIX domain socket is created, you must bind the socket to a unique file path by using the bind function.
You could use junixsocket: https://github.com/kohlschutter/junixsocket
It provides AF-UNIX support via a JNI library, utilizing the Java Socket API. It even allows connecting to MySQL from Java (Connector/J) via Unix sockets.

Java cannot create or access Unix Domain Sockets without using a 3rd party (native) library. The last comment on the second link above mentions this.
The first link has some good (and correct) information on it.
