nslookup in Java

[Aravind Prasad]

Dear Ranchers,
I'm doing a program in JSP and MySQL. The client is a Webhosting company. They want to check for the domain availability for registering the website thru their site.

for egs : nslookup www.aravindprasad.com should result the domain is available for registering
nslookup www.javaranch.com should result the domain is already registered.

Please help me to do this in Java. How can I start the coding in Java for this. Please send me some links which can help me.

Thanks in advance

regards

Please do not post the same question in multiple forums. It causes confusion and duplication of effort as the community tries to help everyone.

Sorry for posting the doubt in different forums.
When i tried to post in the other one JSP forum it showed me it was locked, So i thought it is Java Advanced and i posted again in this forum.

Please help me, I'm waiting for Java Gurus to reply and solve my problem

Thanks and regards

Take a look at InetAddress.getAllByName();

[Aravind Prasad]

Thankyou very much Scott,
I got the result using this. I've writtend a code which I'm adding here.

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
class inettest
{public static void main(String args[])
{try
{System.out.println(InetAddress.getAllByName("www.yahoo.com"));
 
}
catch(UnknownHostException e)
{System.out.println("Domain not found");
}
}
}

Now when i run the code I'm getting the output like this

[Ljava.net.InetAddress;@923e30
 

Can I get the output as 1 if the domain exists..

Please help me.. what changes I should do in the code so that I can get the result like 1 if domain exists

Thanks in Advance

regards

Did you look at the API documentation of the method InetAddress.getAllByName(...)? If you did, you would have seen that it returns an array of InetAddress objects. If you print that directly to the screen, you'll get the above. Please read the API documentation.
