sockets - Java Soket cannot send multicast packet on Raspberry Pi -

i try run code in raspberry pi. socket can receive data multicast group, however, shows following error when tries send data:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ java  protocol java.net.multicastsocket@647e05 java.io.ioexception: cannot assign requested address     @ java.net.plaindatagramsocketimpl.send(native method)     @ java.net.datagramsocket.send(datagramsocket.java:693)     @ protocol.getsensordata(protocol.java:201)     @ protocol.main(protocol.java:305) 

here code:

your java may picking ip v4 instead of ip v6 (like multicast address seems point to). try starting

-djava.net.preferipv6addresses=true

usually happens java preferring v6 on v4, might have special case here. alternatively, you're using invalid multicast address (looking @ https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses/ipv6-multicast-addresses.xhtml#ipv6-scope doesn't appear addresses starting ff12 valid ipv6 multicast addresses).
