This is a simple Java Example which uses Apache Commons Net library to pull all Whois data.
The WhoisClient class implements the client side of the Internet Whois Protocol defined in RFC 954. To query a host you create a WhoisClient instance, connect to the host, query the host, and finally disconnect from the host. If the whois service you want to query is on a non-standard port, connect to the host at that port.
You need below maven dependency in your pom.xml file.
<dependency> <groupId>commons-net</groupId> <artifactId>commons-net</artifactId> <version>3.9.0</version> </dependency>
To include this dependency in your project, add the above code to your pom.xml file in the dependencies section. After that, run the command mvn install to download and install the dependency.
