Method Details

validate

public static ValidationResult validate(String address)

Validates a host address, must be either a valid domain name or a valid IP address.

When enclosed in brackets "[...]", will be validated as an IPv6 InetAddress (see toBracketedString()).

TODO: Must be non-arpa

valueOf

public static HostAddress valueOf(String address)
                           throws ValidationException

When enclosed in brackets "[...]", will be parsed as an IPv6 InetAddress (see toBracketedString()).

Parameters:

address - when null, returns null

Throws:

ValidationException

valueOf

public static HostAddress valueOf(DomainName domainName)

If domainName is null, returns null.

valueOf
