I have been trying to determine how to get the IP address of a remote client making a call to a
Java app server. This is complicated by the fact that I want to access this information from within an
EJB. I have found information online which indicates that there is not a Java native way to do this and that it is necessary to write code which is specific to the vendor class library for your Java application server (EX.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=13&thread=21353 ). Is this still the case? That post is from a number of years ago.
The server I am using is JRun4. I've been searching manually through the JRun API (javadoc), but I can't find the source of this information, and honestly these docs are very poor, especially in the area of architectural details. Does someone know which class contains the remote (aka referrer) address for a given session for this server? If not, can someone point me to a document which describes the structure of these classes within JRun during runtime? Even better, can you give me a code snippet which shows access of this information from within an EJB?
I'm more of an OO ActionScript developer, and the amount of time to find this information has been really frustrating. Any help is greatly appreciated.
