[Geoip-java] GeoIP Java Api problem

[Dejan M. <D....@pa...>]

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

We would like to use the GeoIP Java API together with GeoIpCity DB. For some tests I installed localy the lite version of GeoIPCity DB and also downloaded and compiled all classes into a JAR file.
This dependency is then used in some of my unit tests (I just wanted to try the API). I loaded the database and created instance of LookupService.

// Read binary database from local classpath
String fileName = GeoIpApiTest.class.getClassLoader().getResource("GeoLiteCity.dat").getPath();
fileName = fileName.substring(1);


// Create lookup service
ls = new LookupService(fileName, LookupService.GEOIP_MEMORY_CACHE | LookupService.GEOIP_CHECK_CACHE);

Then I tried to call some basic methods like:

Country country = ls.getCountry("151.38.39.114");

Unfortunatelly I am always getting ArrayOutOfBoundException:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -12636850
                at com.maxmind.geoip.LookupService.getCountry(LookupService.java:503)
                at com.maxmind.geoip.LookupService.getCountry(LookupService.java:456)

We would like to buy the licence for binary database and also to use update functionality with job written in C.

Can you help me by this problem?

p.s. I also tried to put all java files into default package but this was not working either. Any ideas?

Thank you very much for further help.
