Uses of Class
java.net.SocketAddress

Packages that use SocketAddress

java.net	Provides the classes for implementing networking applications.
java.nio.channels	Defines channels, which represent connections to entities that are capable of performing I/O operations, such as files and sockets; defines selectors, for multiplexed, non-blocking I/O operations.

Uses of SocketAddress in java.net

Subclasses of SocketAddress in java.net

class

InetSocketAddress 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.

Methods in java.net that return SocketAddress

SocketAddress	Socket.getRemoteSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or null if it is unconnected.
SocketAddress	Socket.getLocalSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to, or null if it is not bound yet.
SocketAddress	ServerSocket.getLocalSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to, or null if it is not bound yet.
SocketAddress	DatagramPacket.getSocketAddress() Gets the SocketAddress (usually IP address + port number) of the remote host that this packet is being sent to or is coming from.
SocketAddress	DatagramSocket.getRemoteSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or null if it is unconnected.
SocketAddress	DatagramSocket.getLocalSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to, or null if it is not bound yet.

Methods in java.net with parameters of type SocketAddress

void	MulticastSocket.joinGroup(SocketAddress mcastaddr, NetworkInterface netIf) Joins the specified multicast group at the specified interface.
void	MulticastSocket.leaveGroup(SocketAddress mcastaddr, NetworkInterface netIf) Leave a multicast group on a specified local interface.
void	Socket.connect(SocketAddress endpoint) Connects this socket to the server.
void	Socket.connect(SocketAddress endpoint, int timeout) Connects this socket to the server with a specified timeout value.
void	Socket.bind(SocketAddress bindpoint) Binds the socket to a local address.
protected abstract void	SocketImpl.connect(SocketAddress address, int timeout) Connects this socket to the specified port number on the specified host.
void	ServerSocket.bind(SocketAddress endpoint) Binds the ServerSocket to a specific address (IP address and port number).
void	ServerSocket.bind(SocketAddress endpoint, int backlog) Binds the ServerSocket to a specific address (IP address and port number).
void	DatagramPacket.setSocketAddress(SocketAddress address) Sets the SocketAddress (usually IP address + port number) of the remote host to which this datagram is being sent.
protected abstract void	DatagramSocketImpl.joinGroup(SocketAddress mcastaddr, NetworkInterface netIf) Join the multicast group.
protected abstract void	DatagramSocketImpl.leaveGroup(SocketAddress mcastaddr, NetworkInterface netIf) Leave the multicast group.
void	DatagramSocket.bind(SocketAddress addr) Binds this DatagramSocket to a specific address & port.
void	DatagramSocket.connect(SocketAddress addr) Connects this socket to a remote socket address (IP address + port number).

Constructors in java.net with parameters of type SocketAddress

MulticastSocket(SocketAddress bindaddr)
Create a MulticastSocket bound to the specified socket address.

DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int offset, int length, SocketAddress address)
Constructs a datagram packet for sending packets of length length with offset ioffsetto the specified port number on the specified host.

DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int length, SocketAddress address)
Constructs a datagram packet for sending packets of length length to the specified port number on the specified host.

DatagramSocket(SocketAddress bindaddr)
Creates a datagram socket, bound to the specified local socket address.
