Setting IPv4 or IPv6 Support
The default protocol stack (IPv4 or IPv6) is set through the
java.net.preferIPv4Stack system property. However, if you want to change the
system property, you can set IPv4 or IPv6 support on the Java command line as follows:
IPv4 support:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack="true"
IPv6 support:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack="false"
Beginning with the JDK 5.0.15 and JDK 6.0.03 releases, you can use the properties file:
{JAVA_HOME}/jre/lib/net.properties
to set IPv4 support:
java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
or to set IPv6 support:
java.net.preferIPv4Stack=false
