Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static int	checkNetmask(InetAddress netmask) Deprecated. This was an internal implementation detail of the method contains(java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress) and should never have been made public. Furthermore it's broken for IPv6. (However, there is no real replacement. If you need this functionality, you should rewrite it yourself.)
static boolean	contains(InetAddress network, InetAddress netmask, InetAddress ip) Checks if a subnet contains a specific IP address.
static InetAddress	getAddress(String string) Deprecated. This was an internal implementation detail of the method contains(java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress) and should never have been made public. (And it's unnecessary too, as well as broken for IPv6. ;-) Use InetAddress.getByName(string) instead.
static int	getClassPart(InetAddress ip, int partNumber) Deprecated. This was an internal implementation detail of the method contains(java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress) and should never have been made public. (And it's inefficient and unnecessary too, as well as broken for IPv6. ;-) Use ip.getAddress()[partNumber] instead.

Method Detail

contains

public static boolean contains(InetAddress network,
               InetAddress netmask,
               InetAddress ip)

Checks if a subnet contains a specific IP address.

Parameters:

network - The network address.

netmask - The subnet mask.

ip - The IP address to check.

Returns:

true if the masked network and ip addresses match, false otherwise

getClassPart

@Deprecated
public static int getClassPart(InetAddress ip,
                          int partNumber)

Deprecated. This was an internal implementation detail of the method contains(java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress) and should never have been made public. (And it's inefficient and unnecessary too, as well as broken for IPv6. ;-) Use ip.getAddress()[partNumber] instead.

Returns the n-th part of an InetAddress.

Parameters:

ip - The address.

partNumber - The number of the part.

Returns:

An integer value.

checkNetmask

@Deprecated
public static int checkNetmask(InetAddress netmask)

Deprecated. This was an internal implementation detail of the method contains(java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress) and should never have been made public. Furthermore it's broken for IPv6. (However, there is no real replacement. If you need this functionality, you should rewrite it yourself.)

Check netmask, e.g. 255.255.255.240 is fine, 255.255.240.16 is illegal (needs to be 255.255.240.0)

Parameters:

netmask - The netmask address.

Returns:

An integer value. -1 if illegal netmask, otherwise 0, 1, 2, 3

getAddress

@Deprecated
public static InetAddress getAddress(String string)
                              throws UnknownHostException

Deprecated. This was an internal implementation detail of the method contains(java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress, java.net.InetAddress) and should never have been made public. (And it's unnecessary too, as well as broken for IPv6. ;-) Use InetAddress.getByName(string) instead.

Converts a string to an IP addres.

Parameters:

string - The IP address, represented by a string.

Returns:

An InetAddress object.

Throws:

UnknownHostException
