How to get IPaddress from domain name in java

Question

HI I am writing an application where I need IP address. I have domain name, but I like to know hoe to get IP address from domain name. For ex www.girionjava.com how to get IP address of this by programming in java.

Thanks

Answer 1

InetAddress.getByName("www.girionjava.com")

Answer 2

InetAddress giriAddress = java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.girionjava.com");

Then, if you want the IP as a String

String address = giriAddress.getHostAddress();

Answer 3

(Extra mask in printing sine java considers all integers to be signed, but an IP address is unsigned)

InetAddress[] machines = InetAddress.getAllByName("yahoo.com");
for(InetAddress address : machines){
  byte[] ip = address.getAddress();
  for(byte b : ip){
    System.out.print(Integer.toString(((int)b)&0xFF)+".");
  }
  System.out.println();
}
