Can Java work as a name server?

Question

I know that Java can act as a client for reading / writing named pipes, but I need another program that acts like a server.

In this case, the program with which I communicate should act as a client, not a server. Is it possible for Java to act in server mode for named pipes?

EDIT: There are client and server modes in named pipes (Windows). First, the server must be installed before the client can connect to it. I have an outdated application that acts like a "client", which means that it connects to what it assumes, it is an already named pipe. I have a new Java application that I would like to associate with this deprecated application using named pipes. I just found examples of how to use Java named pipes in connection with previously installed named pipes.

Well, on linux and mac, you can always release java to the console one line at a time. Example:

In one terminal window:

mkfifo myPipe java -jar mydataserver.jar > mkfifo 

In the second terminal window, do the following:

  while read line; do echo "What has been passed through the pipe is \ ${line}"; done<myPipe
