Hi,
I am testing our server-application (written Java) on different operating systems and thought that OpenSolaris (2008.11) would be the least troublesome due to the nice Java integration. Turns out I was wrong, as I end up with a UnknownHostException

try {
  computerName = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
  if (computerName.indexOf(".") > -1)
    computerName = computerName.substring(0,
        computerName.indexOf(".")).toUpperCase();
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

The output is:

java.net.UnknownHostException: desvearth01: desvearth01
    at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1353)

However, nslookup desvearth01 returns the correct IP address, and nslookup localhost returns 127.0.0.1 as expected. Also, the same code works perfectly on FreeBSD. Is there anything special to OpenSolaris that I am not aware of?

Any hints appreciated, thanks.
