Uses of SocketAddress in java.net

Subclasses of SocketAddress in java.net

Modifier and Type	Class and Description
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

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
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	DatagramSocket.getLocalSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is bound to, or null if it is not bound yet.
SocketAddress	Socket.getRemoteSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or null if it is unconnected.
SocketAddress	DatagramSocket.getRemoteSocketAddress() Returns the address of the endpoint this socket is connected to, or null if it is unconnected.
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.

Methods in java.net with parameters of type SocketAddress

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