        Returns:
        IP Address as a String
        Throws:
        DnsEntryNotFoundException - No record found
        DnsLookupException - Unknown DNS error

      • resolveServiceEntry

        java.lang.String resolveServiceEntry​(java.lang.String serviceType,
                                     java.lang.String domain)
                              throws DnsEntryNotFoundException,
                                     DnsLookupException
        Deprecated.

        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.
        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
        Throws:
        DnsEntryNotFoundException - No record found
        DnsLookupException - Unknown DNS error
