Class UniAddress

java.lang.Object

jcifs.netbios.UniAddress

public class UniAddress
extends 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.
