Class UniAddress

java.lang.Object
  jcifs.UniAddress

public class UniAddress

extends java.lang.Object

Under normal conditions it is not necessary to use this class to use jCIFS properly. Name resolusion is handled internally to the jcifs.smb package.

This class is a wrapper for both NbtAddress and InetAddress. The name resolution mechanisms used will systematically query all available configured resolution services including WINS, broadcasts, DNS, and LMHOSTS. See Setting Name Resolution Properties and the jcifs.resolveOrder property. Changing jCIFS name resolution properties can greatly affect the behavior of the client and may be necessary for proper operation.

This class should be used in favor of InetAddress to resolve hostnames on LANs and WANs that support a mixture of NetBIOS/WINS and DNS resolvable hosts.

Constructor Detail

UniAddress

public UniAddress(java.lang.Object addr)

Create a UniAddress by wrapping an InetAddress or NbtAddress.

Method Detail

getByName

public static UniAddress getByName(java.lang.String hostname)
                            throws java.net.UnknownHostException

Determines the address of a host given it's host name. The name can be a machine name like "jcifs.samba.org", or an IP address like "192.168.1.15".

Parameters:

hostname - NetBIOS or DNS hostname to resolve

Throws:

java.net.UnknownHostException - if there is an error resolving the name

getByName

public static UniAddress getByName(java.lang.String hostname,
                                   boolean possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup)
                            throws java.net.UnknownHostException

Lookup hostname and return it's UniAddress. If the possibleNTDomainOrWorkgroup parameter is true an addtional name query will be performed to locate a master browser.

Throws:

java.net.UnknownHostException

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Return the IP address of this address as a 32 bit integer.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Compare two addresses for equality. Two UniAddresss are equal if they are both UniAddress' and refer to the same IP address.

firstCalledName

public java.lang.String firstCalledName()

Guess first called name to try for session establishment. This method is used exclusively by the jcifs.smb package.

nextCalledName

public java.lang.String nextCalledName()

Guess next called name to try for session establishment. This method is used exclusively by the jcifs.smb package.

getAddress

public java.lang.Object getAddress()

Return the underlying NbtAddress or InetAddress.

getHostName

public java.lang.String getHostName()

Return the hostname of this address such as "MYCOMPUTER".

getHostAddress

public java.lang.String getHostAddress()

Return the IP address as text such as "192.168.1.15".

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Return the a text representation of this address such as MYCOMPUTER/192.168.1.15.
