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.

hi
i want to know how to program above without maven
Hi Chetan – you could add library to your project’s /lib folder and you should be all good. Just add lib dependency. You don’t need maven for it :).. Good luck and happy coding.
