Method Detail

isAcceptable

InetAddress isAcceptable(NetworkInterface networkInterface,
                       InetAddress address)
                         throws SocketException

Gets whether the given network interface and address are acceptable for use. Acceptance is indicated by returning the address which should be used for binding against the network interface; typically this is the given address parameter. For those criteria which override the configured address, the override address should be returned.

Parameters:

networkInterface - the network interface. Cannot be null

address - an address that is associated with networkInterface. Cannot be null

Returns:

InetAddress the non-null address to bind to if the criteria is met, null if the criteria is not satisfied

Throws:

SocketException - if evaluating the state of networkInterface results in one
