java.net.Socket.getLocalAddress() works wrong on Solaris x86

Name: yyC67448 Date: 01/25/98



The java.net.Socket.getLocalAddress() returns address in incorrect byte-order on
Solaris 2.6 x86.

As soon as i386 architecture is little-endian returned address should
be translated from network-order to host-order....

Here is the test demonstrating the bug:

-------------------------------- Test.java -----------------------------
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

class test
{

  public static void main(String args[])
  {
    Socket soc = null;
    InetAddress sin = null;
    int port = 21; // Use telnet service port number.... hope it's enabled..
 
    try {
     sin = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
     soc = new Socket(sin, port, sin, 0);
    } catch(Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println("Exception :" + e);
        System.exit(-1);
    }
   
    if(sin.equals(soc.getLocalAddress()))
    {
       System.out.println("Passed. OKAY");
       try {
         soc.close();
       } catch(Exception e) {}
       System.exit(0);
    }

    System.out.println("Failed. LocalAddress = " + soc.getLocalAddress());
   
    try {
     soc.close();
    } catch(Exception e) {}
    System.exit(-1);

  }
}


---------------------- Output from the test on Solaris x86 -----
Failed. LocalAddress = 196.205.168.192/196.205.168.192
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------- Output from the test on Solaris SPARC ---
Passed. OKAY
-----------------------------------------------------------------
