Creating InetAddress object in Java

You should be able to use getByName or getByAddress.

The host name can either be a machine name, such as "java.sun.com", or a textual representation of its IP address

InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("127.0.0.1");

The method that takes a byte array can be used like this:

byte[] ipAddr = new byte[]{127, 0, 0, 1};
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByAddress(ipAddr);

From the API for InetAddress

The host name can either be a machine name, such as "java.sun.com", or a textual representation of its IP address. If a literal IP address is supplied, only the validity of the address format is checked.
