Is there any better to way to check if I can receive a given IP Multicast transmission. Following code works fine but there is a problem in this code - it blocks the current thread until it gets the multicast packets.
Thank you.
import java.net.DatagramPacket;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.MulticastSocket;
public class MulticastTest {
static String MCAST_ADDR = "FF7E:230::1234";// "235.1.1.1";
static int DEST_PORT = 1234;
static int BUFFER_LENGTH = 16;
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
byte[] b = new byte[BUFFER_LENGTH];
DatagramPacket dgram = new DatagramPacket(b, b.length);
MulticastSocket socket = new MulticastSocket(DEST_PORT);
socket.joinGroup(InetAddress.getByName(MCAST_ADDR));
socket.receive(dgram); // blocks until a datagram is received
System.err.println("Received " + dgram.getLength() + " bytes from " + dgram.getAddress());
dgram.setLength(b.length); // must reset length field!
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
}
You could set a timeout-value with the method socket.setSoTimeout(int)
.

If you don't receive any data within the timeout, a SocketTimeoutException is raised
