This class implements an IP Socket Address (IP address + port number) It can also be a pair (hostname + port number), in which case an attempt will be made to resolve the hostname. If resolution fails then the address is said to be unresolved but can still be used on some circumstances like connecting through a proxy.

It provides an immutable object used by sockets for binding, connecting, or as returned values.

The wildcard is a special local IP address. It usually means "any" and can only be used for bind operations.

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.

Params:
  • port – The port number
Throws:

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.

Params:
  • addr – The IP address
  • port – The port number
Throws:
/** * * Creates a socket address from an IP address and a port number. * <p> * A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. * A port number of {@code zero} will let the system pick up an * ephemeral port in a {@code bind} operation. * <P> * A {@code null} address will assign the <i>wildcard</i> address. * * @param addr The IP address * @param port The port number * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the port parameter is outside the specified * range of valid port values. */
public InetSocketAddress(InetAddress addr, int port) { holder = new InetSocketAddressHolder( null, addr == null ? InetAddress.anyLocalAddress() : addr, checkPort(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.

Params:
  • 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.

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.

Params:
  • host – 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.

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.
