Question

I am trying to get the IP of a socket connection in string form.

I am using a framework, which returns the SocketAddress of the received message. How can i transform it to InetSocketAddress or InetAddress?

Answer 1

If your certain that the object is an InetSocketAddress then simply cast it:

SocketAddress sockAddr = ...
InetSocketAddress inetAddr = (InetSocketAddress)sockAddr;

You can then call the getAddress() method on inetAddr to get the InetAddress object associated with it.
