Constructor Detail

• InetSocketAddress

  public InetSocketAddress(int port)

  Creates a socket address where the IP address is the wildcard address and the port number a specified value.

  A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

  Parameters:

  port - The port number

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values.

• InetSocketAddress

  public InetSocketAddress(InetAddress addr,
                           int port)

  Creates a socket address from an IP address and a port number.

  A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

  A null address will assign the wildcard address.

  Parameters:

  addr - The IP address

  port - The port number

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values.

• InetSocketAddress

  public InetSocketAddress(String hostname,
                           int port)

  Creates a socket address from a hostname and a port number.

  An attempt will be made to resolve the hostname into an InetAddress. If that attempt fails, the address will be flagged as unresolved.

  If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with the host name as its argument to check the permission to resolve it. This could result in a SecurityException.

  A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

  Parameters:

  hostname - the Host name

  port - The port number

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outside the range of valid port values, or if the hostname parameter is null.

  SecurityException - if a security manager is present and permission to resolve the host name is denied.

Method Detail

• createUnresolved

  public static InetSocketAddress createUnresolved(String host,
                                                   int port)

  Creates an unresolved socket address from a hostname and a port number.

  No attempt will be made to resolve the hostname into an InetAddress. The address will be flagged as unresolved.

  A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

  Parameters:

  host - the Host name

  port - The port number

  Returns:

  a InetSocketAddress representing the unresolved socket address

  Throws:

  IllegalArgumentException - if the port parameter is outside the range of valid port values, or if the hostname parameter is null.

  Since:

  1.5

  isUnresolved()

• getPort

  public final int getPort()

  Gets the port number.

  Returns:

  the port number.

• getAddress

  public final InetAddress getAddress()

  Gets the InetAddress.

  Returns:

  the InetAdress or null if it is unresolved.

• getHostName

  public final String getHostName()

  Gets the hostname. Note: This method may trigger a name service reverse lookup if the address was created with a literal IP address.

  Returns:

  the hostname part of the address.

• getHostString

  public final String getHostString()

  Returns the hostname, or the String form of the address if it doesn't have a hostname (it was created using a literal). This has the benefit of not attempting a reverse lookup.

  Returns:

  the hostname, or String representation of the address.

  Since:

  1.7

• isUnresolved

  public final boolean isUnresolved()

  Checks whether the address has been resolved or not.

  Returns:

  true if the hostname couldn't be resolved into an InetAddress.

• toString

  public String toString()

  Constructs a string representation of this InetSocketAddress. This String is constructed by calling toString() on the InetAddress and concatenating the port number (with a colon). If the address is unresolved then the part before the colon will only contain the hostname.

  Overrides:

  toString in class  Object

  Returns:

  a string representation of this object.

• equals

  public final boolean equals(Object obj)

  Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and it represents the same address as this object.

  Two instances of InetSocketAddress represent the same address if both the InetAddresses (or hostnames if it is unresolved) and port numbers are equal. If both addresses are unresolved, then the hostname and the port number are compared. Note: Hostnames are case insensitive. e.g. "FooBar" and "foobar" are considered equal.

  Overrides:

  equals in class  Object

  Parameters:

  obj - the object to compare against.

  Returns:

  true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

  InetAddress.equals(java.lang.Object)

• hashCode

  public final int hashCode()

  Returns a hashcode for this socket address.

  Overrides:

  hashCode in class  Object

  Returns:

  a hash code value for this socket address.

  Object.equals(java.lang.Object), System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)
