17. Converting a hostname to the equivalent IP address

This Java tip shows how to convert a hostname to the equivalent IP address.


import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

public class GetIP {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    InetAddress address = null;
    try {
      address = InetAddress.getByName("www.java-tips.org");
    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
      System.exit(2);
    }
    System.out.println(address.getHostName() + "="
        + address.getHostAddress());
    System.exit(0);
  }
}
