How to call a java package Packages.java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com")

[droid]

I am trying to call  Packages.java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com") in "Scripts - Background"

But this gives me an error -  

Script -

var i = Packages.java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com");

gs.print(i);

Result -

Attempted script access to inaccessible member denied - java.net.InetAddress:getByName:(Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/net/InetAddress;
Evaluator: java.lang.SecurityException: Illegal access to method getByName(string) in class java.net.InetAddress       Caused by error in script at line 1   ==>     1: var i = Packages.java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.google.com");             2: gs.print(i);
Background message, type:error, message: Illegal access to method getByName(string) in class java.net.InetAddress

Although a few other packages like URL executes fine -

Script -

var i = new Packages.java.net.URL("http://www.google.com");

gs.print(i.getHost());

Result -

*** Script: www.google.com

Why would InetAdress not work and other java.net classes work?

Actually all the packages call are being moved to GlideScriptable Objects. Mostly this is for glide packages.

You can check what all classes are accessible using just

gs.print(Packages.java.net.URL); >> result would be Java Class

somehow this getByName is not found..

Actually,

The class is InetAddress

gs.print(Packages.java.net.InetAddress);

returns [JavaClass java.net.InetAddress]

[Inactive_Us1474]

If you use gs.print(Packages.java.net.InetAddress.getByName()); // Inet Address is present but not any method

All these Package calls are going to move to Script API's to provide better functionality.

I think i am doing something wrong here.

Packages.java.net.InetAddress.getByName() is actually a function present in the package, but somehow we are not able to use(call) it.

Look at the result of this script which prints all functions available in a class -

var obj = Packages.java.net.InetAddress;
var methods = [];
for (var m in obj) {
       if (typeof obj[m] == "function") {
               methods.push(m);
       }
}
gs.print(methods.join(","));

Result-

[0:00:00.009] Script completed in scope global: script

---

Attempted script access to inaccessible member denied - java.net.InetAddress:getLoopbackAddress:()Ljava/net/InetAddress;
*** Script: getAllByName,getByName,getLoopbackAddress,getByAddress,getLocalHost

This proves that there is actually all the functions as mentioned in the documentation of InetAddress
