    Exclamation IPv6 validation is failing with java.net.InetAddress

    Facing problem with java.net.InetAddress class while validating special form of IPv6 address.

    please check the following piece of code.

    String ipv6 = "0:0:0:0:0:ffff:a1f:e403";
    try{
    final Inet6Address i6 = (Inet6Address) InetAddress.getByName(ipv6);
    System.out.println(i6);
    }
    catch(ClassCastException e){
    System.out.println("Not a proper ip: "+e);
    }

    It is throwing ClassCastException.
