JmDNS

This is an implemenation of multi-cast DNS in Java. It supports service discovery and service registration. It is fully interoperable with Apple's Bonjour.

How to create jar

Copy zip from github or clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/angsuman/jmdns.git

Run the following in the directory to create jar file (no dependencies):

cd jmdns
ant jar

Sample Code for Service Registration

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;

import javax.jmdns.JmDNS;
import javax.jmdns.ServiceInfo;

public class ExampleServiceRegistration {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {

        try {
            // Create a JmDNS instance
            JmDNS jmdns = JmDNS.create(InetAddress.getLocalHost());

            // Register a service
            ServiceInfo serviceInfo = ServiceInfo.create("_http._tcp.local.", "example", 1234, "path=index.html");
            jmdns.registerService(serviceInfo);

            // Wait a bit
            Thread.sleep(25000);

            // Unregister all services
            jmdns.unregisterAllServices();

        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Sample code for Service Discovery

import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.InetAddress;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;

import javax.jmdns.JmDNS;
import javax.jmdns.ServiceEvent;
import javax.jmdns.ServiceListener;

public class ExampleServiceDiscovery {

    private static class SampleListener implements ServiceListener {
        @Override
        public void serviceAdded(ServiceEvent event) {
            System.out.println("Service added: " + event.getInfo());
        }

        @Override
        public void serviceRemoved(ServiceEvent event) {
            System.out.println("Service removed: " + event.getInfo());
        }

        @Override
        public void serviceResolved(ServiceEvent event) {
            System.out.println("Service resolved: " + event.getInfo());
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        try {
            // Create a JmDNS instance
            JmDNS jmdns = JmDNS.create(InetAddress.getLocalHost());

            // Add a service listener
            jmdns.addServiceListener("_http._tcp.local.", new SampleListener());

            // Wait a bit
            Thread.sleep(30000);
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}
