Method Detail

• getAddress

  java.net.InetAddress getAddress()

  Return the single most appropriate address for this location. (An implementation or sub-interface definition may supply more information on the precise semantics of the address.) Should not return null, but in some "special cases" (e.g. CloudFoundryLocation it may return null if the location is not configured correctly). Users should expect a non-null result and treat null as a programming error or misconfiguration. Implementors of this interface should strive to not return null (and then we'll remove this caveat from the javadoc!).
