Method Detail

getLocalHost

public static InetAddress getLocalHost()
                                throws UnknownHostException

Many Linux systems typically return 127.0.0.1 as the localhost address instead of the address assigned on the local network. It has to do with how localhost is defined in /etc/hosts. This method creates a quick UDP socket and gets the local address for the socket on Linux systems to get around the problem.

Returns:

The local network address in a cross-platform manner.

Throws:

UnknownHostException - If the host is considered unknown for any reason.

firstLocalNonLoopbackIpv4Address

public static InetAddress firstLocalNonLoopbackIpv4Address()

Returns:
