Method Detail

getLocalHostAddress

public static InetAddress getLocalHostAddress()
                                       throws UnknownHostException

Gets the InetAddress of the localhost. Attempts to get a non-loopback address (i.e. not 127.0.0.1) if at all possible. This utility is better than InetAddress.getLocalHost() since the latter often fails on Linux.

Returns:

the InetAddress of the localhost. This will be a non-loopback address if one could be found.

Throws:

UnknownHostException - if the local host address could not be obtained
