How to see Contents of Cache

user13135626Mar 26 2013 — edited Mar 27 2013
Hi,

As we know that ,The InetAddress class has a cache to store successful as well as unsuccessful host name resolutions. By default, when a security manager is installed, in order to protect against DNS spoofing attacks, the result of positive host name resolutions are cached forever. When a security manager is not installed, the default behavior is to cache entries for a finite (implementation dependent) period of time. The result of unsuccessful host name resolution is cached for a very short period of time (10 seconds) to improve performance.


If the default behavior is not desired, then a Java security property can be set to a different Time-to-live (TTL) value for positive caching. Likewise, a system admin can configure a different negative caching TTL value when needed.

I want to know is there any way i can see Contents of above Naming Resolution Cache ? Where cache is stored and how can i see Contents of this Cache ?

Regards
Sahil Soni
