Part 2: NoRouteToHostException

Part1 : Part2

If following code run without proxy details, then java.net.NoRouteToHostException will be thrown in windows/linux platform

import java.net.Socket;
public class SocketPrg {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
Socket sock=new Socket("abc.javafundu.com",8001);
}
}

UnknownHostException

Assume, I have given proper proxy details if internet connection established through proxy server. If we refer wrong host name which does not exsit then we do get java.net.UnknownHostException.

Additionally, we may refer right host name then also we do get this exception. In this case we have to check hosts file and correct the entry.

windows: /windows/system32/drivers/hosts
Linux : /etc/hosts

Make following entry in hosts file
127.87.6.207 abc.javafunud.com javafundu.com

Exception will be thrown as below

Exception in thread "main" java.net.UnknownHostException: abc.javafundu.com

ConnectException

If host name is correct and hosts points right IP address with wrong port number then ConnectException will be thrown with Connection timed out for remote host most of the time( with default timeout configuration). For localhost or same network host, we do get Connection refused.

Socket sock=new Socket("localhost",8001);
