Method Detail

setCtxFactory

public void setCtxFactory(InitialContextFactory ctxFactory)

Allows to inject an own JNDI context factory.

Parameters:

ctxFactory - factory to use, when a DirContext is needed

InitialDirContext, DirContext

resolveIpAddress

public String resolveIpAddress(String hostname)

Description copied from interface: DnsResolver

Resolves the IP Address (A record) to the specified host name. Throws DnsEntryNotFoundException if there is no record.

Specified by:

resolveIpAddress in interface DnsResolver

Parameters:

hostname - The hostname for which you need the IP Address

Returns:

IP Address as a String

resolveServiceEntry

public String resolveServiceEntry(String serviceType,
                                  String domain)

Description copied from interface: DnsResolver

Resolves the host name for the specified service in the specified domain

For example, if you need the host name for an LDAP server running in the domain springsource.com, you would call resolveServiceEntry("ldap", "springsource.com").

The DNS server needs to provide the service records for this, in the example above, it would look like this:

 _ldap._tcp.springsource.com IN SRV 10 0 88 ldap.springsource.com.
 

The method will return the record with highest priority (which means the lowest number in the DNS record) and if there are more than one records with the same priority, it will return the one with the highest weight. You will find more informatione about DNS service records at Wikipedia.

Specified by:

resolveServiceEntry in interface DnsResolver

Parameters:

serviceType - The service type you are searching for, e.g. ldap, kerberos, ...

domain - The domain, in which you are searching for the service

Returns:

The hostname of the service

resolveServiceIpAddress

public String resolveServiceIpAddress(String serviceType,
                                      String domain)

Description copied from interface: DnsResolver

Resolves the host name for the specified service and then the IP Address for this host in one call.

Specified by:

resolveServiceIpAddress in interface DnsResolver

Parameters:

serviceType - The service type you are searching for, e.g. ldap, kerberos, ...

domain - The domain, in which you are searching for the service

Returns:
