How to simulate java socket connection break?

I have written java application that makes socket connections with a legacy system.

How can I simulate the connection failure (Eg Socket connection timeout, read timeout, network failure), so that i can add necessary code based on the exception trace ?

Use a mock framework such as Mockito or EasyMock, mock a Socket object.

Look at the Javadoc for Socket and make your mocked object fail at some point with an Exception thrown by it in your unit tests.

Do you want to trigger an actual failure or test your code works in different situations?

If its the latter, I would create a simple mock server, or if this is not practical, a proxy server. Close the outbound or incoming connection, or stop sending data at a certain point. At this point you can test your code behaves as expected.
