Sometimes an exception is thrown when the standard implementation does not. When passed a fully qualified domain name the results are the same. When passed a hostname or the special name 'localhost', a java.net.UnknownHostException is thrown by org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer while java.net.InetAddress resolves the addresses correctly. This is a critical issue as in v2.2.0 java.net.InetAddress.getByName() has pretty thoroughly been replaced by org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(), but in the noted circumstances it doesn't perform the same. Dependent code breaks. Here are the contrasting examples... // FAILS String address = "localhost"; java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(address); return inetAddress; // FAILS String address = "hostname"; java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = org.apache.james.dnsserver.DNSServer.getByName(address); return inetAddress; // SUCCEEDS String address = "localhost"; java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = java.net.InetAddress.getByName(address); return inetAddress; // SUCCEEDS String address = "hostname"; java.net.InetAddress inetAddress = java.net.InetAddress.getByName(address); return inetAddress; --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
