I have a server application which runs nicely in Java alpha 3,
and I've run across a problem I don't know how to solve in
porting to Beta.
In alpha 3, my server is listening on a socket that I bound using
socket.bindToPort(localAddr, localPort).
Since my server my might be listening on more than 1 network,
I need to specify localAddr. It might be 127.0.0.1 (loopback),
it might be my machine's address on a LAN, it might be my machine's PPP
address.
Unfortunately, socket.bindToPort() is gone, and there is no equivalent
in ServerSocket. Looking at the code in ServerSocket.java and InetAddress.java,
It seems that ms that the local address is gotten from
private static native String getLocalHostName(),
which I have no control over.
Any suggestions how I can specify what socket to listen on?
thanks,
Carl Resnikoff
