Constructor Detail

NetworkAddresses

public NetworkAddresses()

Instantiates a new local network interfaces.

Method Detail

getNetworkAddressVector

public java.util.Vector<NetworkAddresses.NetworkAddress> getNetworkAddressVector()

Gets the network address vector.

Returns:

the network address vector

getNetworkAddressVectorLoopBack

public java.util.Vector<NetworkAddresses.NetworkAddress> getNetworkAddressVectorLoopBack()

Gets the network address vector.

Returns:

the network address vector

isAvailableIP

public boolean isAvailableIP(java.lang.String ipAddress)

Checks if the specified IP address is locally available.

Parameters:

ipAddress - the IP address to check

Returns:

true, if is available IP

getJPopupMenu4NetworkAddresses

public javax.swing.JPopupMenu getJPopupMenu4NetworkAddresses(java.awt.event.ActionListener actListener)

Gets the JPopupMenu for the available network addresses.

Parameters:

actListener - the act listener

Returns:

the JPopupMenu for NetworkAddresses

getInet4Addresses

public java.util.Vector<NetworkAddresses.NetworkAddress> getInet4Addresses()

Returns the Inet4Address addresses.

Returns:

the inet4 addresses

getInet4AddressesLoopBack

public java.util.Vector<NetworkAddresses.NetworkAddress> getInet4AddressesLoopBack()

Returns the loopback Inet4Address addresses.

Returns:

the inet4 addresses

getInet6Addresses

public java.util.Vector<NetworkAddresses.NetworkAddress> getInet6Addresses()

Returns the Inet6Address addresses.

Returns:

the inet6 addresses

getInet6AddressesLoopBack

public java.util.Vector<NetworkAddresses.NetworkAddress> getInet6AddressesLoopBack()

Returns the loopback Inet6Address addresses.

Returns:

the inet6 addresses

getPreferredInetAddress

public java.net.InetAddress getPreferredInetAddress()

Returns the 'preferred' InetAddress. That means that out of the currently available IP-addresses, the IP-address will be selected and returned that can be used for network communication (e.g. for the MTP of JADE). Here the selection algorithm first tries to select out of the IP4 addresses and tries to identify the network card connection. If not available, a WiFi connection will be used. If no IP4 address is available, the same will be tried with the IP6 network connections.

Returns:

the preferred InetAddress
