Hi !

Sure ! Here it is:

javax.servlet
Interface ServletRequest
public java.lang.String getRemoteAddr()

Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client or last proxy that sent the request. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_ADDR.

Returns:
a String containing the IP address of the client that sent the request

It goes back to HTTP request. All the info you received from the request are the only you can use. Look at the ServletRequest interface and HttpServletRequest. Does interface/classes will give you all the info that you can obtain from the client.

It makes sense, no ?

thk !
