------------------------------------------------------------------
This is what i'm using in my code for now,
try {
isValid = InetAddress.getByName(address) instanceof Inet6Address;
} catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
isValid = false;
}
and if i had to change the InetAddressValidator.java it would look like,
{code:title=InetAddressValidator.java|borderStyle=solid}
public boolean isValid(String inetAddress) {
boolean isValid = false;
if(isValidInet4Address(inetAddress)){
isValid = true;
} else { //could it be IPV6?
try {
isValid = InetAddress.getByName(address) instanceof Inet6Address;
} catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
isValid = false;
}
}
return isValid;
}
{code}
I searched stackoverflow for proper IPV6 regex validation but in vain, so this
is what i'm using for now and works for my case. I assume there must be a
better way to do it. Thanks.
