Hi all!

Does anyone know a Ping Class in Java
to do a simple "ping" on a server and reading the response?

Didn't find anything usefull up to now. 


In the Sun Runtime there are no APIs that expose this behaviour.



In the meantime I found out, that Java doesn't support
Raw Sockets which are necessary to do such a ICMP ECHO (Ping).

But you can use Native C Code.
Calling the native code using the JNI interface.
The finishing touch is to wrap the JNI call in an RMI class.

Thats the theory...
