Java - Socket getInetAddress() Method
Description
The Java Socket getInetAddress() returns the address to which the socket is connected. If the socket was connected prior to being closed, then this method will continue to return the connected address after the socket is closed.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.net.Socket.getInetAddress() method.
public InetAddress getInetAddress()
Parameters
NA
Return Value
the remote IP address to which this socket is connected, or null if the socket is not connected.
Exception
NA
Example 1
The following example shows the usage of Java Socket getInetAddress() methd to get the address to which the socket is connected. As first step, we've created a Socket instance using no argument constructor. Then in order to create a SocketAddress object, we've initialized an InetAddress instance of localhost address. Using InetSocketAddress object, we've created a SocketAddress object and then using bind() method, we bind the address to the socket. Once done, we're printing the local port and inetaddress using getInetAddress() method as shown. In the end, we closed the socket using close() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.InetAddress; import java.net.InetSocketAddress; import java.net.Socket; import java.net.SocketAddress; public class SocketDemo { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Socket socket = new Socket(); InetAddress inetAddress=InetAddress.getByName("localhost"); SocketAddress socketAddress=new InetSocketAddress(inetAddress, 6066); socket.bind(socketAddress); System.out.println("Port number: "+socket.getLocalPort()); System.out.println("Inet Address: "+socket.getInetAddress()); socket.close(); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Port number: 6066 Inet Address: null
Example 2
The following example shows the usage of Java Socket getInetAddress() methd to get the address to which the socket is not connected. As first step, we've created a Socket instance using no argument constructor. Now using bind() method, we bind a null address to the socket. Once done, we're printing , local port being assigned to the socket as default and inetaddress using getInetAddress() method as shown. In the end, we closed the socket using close() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.Socket; public class SocketDemo { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Socket socket = new Socket(); socket.bind(null); System.out.println("Port number: "+socket.getLocalPort()); System.out.println("Inet Address: "+socket.getInetAddress()); socket.close(); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Port number: 49654 Inet Address: null
Example 3
The following example shows the usage of Java Socket getInetAddress() methd to get the address to which the socket is already closed. As first step, we've created a Socket instance using no argument constructor. Then in order to create a SocketAddress object, we've initialized an InetAddress instance of localhost address. Using InetSocketAddress object, we've created a SocketAddress object. Using socket.close(), we're closing the socket. Now we're printing local port being assigned to the socket as default and inetaddress using getInetAddress() method as shown. In the end, we closed the socket using close() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.InetAddress; import java.net.InetSocketAddress; import java.net.Socket; import java.net.SocketAddress; public class SocketDemo { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Socket socket = new Socket(); InetAddress inetAddress=InetAddress.getByName("localhost"); SocketAddress socketAddress=new InetSocketAddress(inetAddress, 6066); socket.bind(socketAddress); socket.close(); System.out.println("Port number: "+socket.getLocalPort()); System.out.println("Inet Address: "+socket.getInetAddress()); socket.close(); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Port number: 6066 Inet Address: null
