publicstatic InetSocketAddress createUnresolved (String host, int port)

Creates an unresolved socket address from a hostname and a port number.

publicfinal boolean equals (Object obj)

Compares this object against the specified object.

Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and it represents the same address as this object.

Two instances of InetSocketAddress represent the same address if both the InetAddresses (or hostnames if it is unresolved) and port numbers are equal. If both addresses are unresolved, then the hostname & the port number are compared.
Returns: true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Parameters:
- obj - the object to compare against.
