Java ServerSocket getInetAddress() Method

The getInetAddress() method of ServerSocket class returns the local address of given server socket. This method will continue to return the local address after the socket is closed.

Syntax

Returns:

The address to which this socket is bound, or null if the socket is unbound.

Example 1

import java.net.Socket;
public class GetInetAddressExample1 {
 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
	 Socket c = new Socket("google.com", 80);
	    System.out.println("    getPort : "+c.getPort());
	   //getting InetAddress
	     System.out.println("   getInetAddress : "+c.getInetAddress());
	    c.close();
	  }
	}

Output:

	            System.out.println("Connection made with inetAddress " +inadd);
	            pause(1000);//Static Method called
	            s.close();
	         }
	      } 
	         catch (IOException e) {
	         System.out.println(" Input/Output Exception occoured: " + e);
	      }
	   }
	   private static void pause(int ms) {
	      try {
	         Thread.sleep(ms);
	      }catch (InterruptedException e) {}
	   }
	}
