Class DatagramPacket

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--java.net.DatagramPacket

public final class DatagramPacket
extends Object

This class represents a datagram packet.

Datagram packets are used to implement a connectionless packet delivery service. Each message is routed from one machine to another based solely on information contained within that packet. Multiple packets sent from one machine to another might be routed differently, and might arrive in any order.

Since:
JDK1.0

DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int length)
          Constructs a DatagramPacket for receiving packets of length length.
DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int length, InetAddress address, int port)
          Constructs a datagram packet for sending packets of length length to the specified port number on the specified host.
DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int offset, int length)
          Constructs a DatagramPacket for receiving packets of length length, specifying an offset into the buffer.
DatagramPacket(byte[] buf, int offset, int length, InetAddress address, int port)
          Constructs a datagram packet for sending packets of length length with offset ioffsetto the specified port number on the specified host.

Constructor Detail

DatagramPacket

public DatagramPacket(byte[] buf,
                      int offset,
                      int length)
Constructs a DatagramPacket for receiving packets of length length, specifying an offset into the buffer.

The length argument must be less than or equal to buf.length.

Parameters:
buf - buffer for holding the incoming datagram.
offset - the offset for the buffer
length - the number of bytes to read.
Since:
JDK1.2

DatagramPacket

public DatagramPacket(byte[] buf,
                      int length)
Constructs a DatagramPacket for receiving packets of length length.

The length argument must be less than or equal to buf.length.

Parameters:
buf - buffer for holding the incoming datagram.
length - the number of bytes to read.

setPort(int)

getData

public byte[] getData()
Returns the data received or the data to be sent.
Returns:
