The code below shows developers how to use the java.net.MulticastSocket, add them to a group, and used them to publish data in Java:
*/
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.MulticastSocket;
public class SocketJoinGroup
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
SocketJoinGroup socketJoinGroup = new SocketJoinGroup();
socketJoinGroup.proceed();
}
private void proceed()
{
try
{
String ipAddressForGroup = "226.3.4.5";
InetAddress group = InetAddress.getByName(ipAddressForGroup);
MulticastSocket multicastSocket = new MulticastSocket(7654);
multicastSocket.joinGroup(group);
System.out.println("Joined group: " + group);
}
catch(Exception exception)
{
System.out.println("Exception: " + exception);
}
}
}
/*
Note that your output might be different based on the Java development environment that you are using:
[root@mypc]# java SocketJoinGroup Joined group: /226.3.4.5
