It is at
http://www.dan.drydog.com/java/GetServiceByName.java
This isn't a part of Java because someone apparently thought
it's a system-dependent function.
With all due respect, this is not a system-dependent
function. The implementation may be (such as the location of
the /etc/services file or whether it's a flat file or database),
but the function can be implemented on any system.
