Hi Denis,
InetAddressTest.test_getHostName (see H-1664) failed on WinServer because InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1").getHostName() returned "nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com" while "localhost" expected. So this test
According to the test's output you've provided:
=========== RI ============== by name (127.0.0.1) -> 127.0.0.1
RI returns "127.0.0.1" rather than "localhost". Is it written somewhere in the spec that InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1").getHostName() should return "localhost"? Thanks, 2006/10/19, Denis Kishenko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have researched issue H-1664 and found one more difference with RI. I run simple test on Windows Server 2003 SP1 =================== Test ============= import java.net.InetAddress; import java.net.UnknownHostException; public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) throws UnknownHostException { System.out.println("by name (127.0.0.1) -> " + InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1").getHostName()); System.out.println("by name (localhost) -> " + InetAddress.getByName("localhost").getHostName()); System.out.println("by address -> " + InetAddress.getByAddress(new byte[]{127, 0, 0, 1}).getHostName()); System.out.println("localhost -> " + InetAddress.getLocalHost()); } } Windows Server 2003 SP1 =========== RI ============== by name (127.0.0.1) -> 127.0.0.1 by name (localhost) -> localhost by address -> 127.0.0.1 localhost -> nstdrlew21/10.125.122.60 ========= Harmony ========== by name (127.0.0.1) -> nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com by name (localhost) -> localhost by address -> nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com localhost -> nstdrlew21/10.125.122.60 WinXP ========= Both =========== by name (127.0.0.1) -> localhost by name (localhost) -> localhost by address -> localhost localhost -> pbwdmkishen/10.125.132.226 Actually Harmony use native call of getnameinfo() to get host name (which is reasonable IMHO). MSDN says "The getnameinfo function provides name resolution from an address to the host name". InetAddressTest.test_getHostName (see H-1664) failed on WinServer because InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1").getHostName() returned "nstdrlew21.ins.intel.com" while "localhost" expected. So this test looks like configuration dependent. I see three possible options 1. Stay test as is. Just keep in mind that on specific configurations this one fails. 2. Rewrite test to be configuration dependent. Test has to do the same native call. 3. Exclude localhost checking from test_getHostName. What do you think about this situation?
