Message:

Getting the IP address from the request

Posted by Jody Brown on February 15, 2001 at 8:51 AM

Mattias,

In the servlet, use request.getRemoteAddr() - inherited from ServletRequest. This returns the IP address of the agent that sent the request as a String. Also, request.getRemoteHost() will attempt to get the fully qualified host name. If it cant resolve the name however, the IP address will be returned as in getRemoteAddr().

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Jody
