How does the .accept() method work?

Hi,

I have checked the source code of the ServerSocket implementation that comes with the jdk.

I tought I was going to find some type of loop. However I found nothing like that! so how does the accept method work.

I mean when we call the .accept() method, the thread in which the socketServer is initialized gets stoped untill a new client connection is recieved! how is this actually managed?
