How to get the client's ip address?

[Gustavo Santos]

Hi guys,

Is there a way to get the host's ip address from my webservice class? I'm using axis2.

Cheers,

I think the below code should help you,

InetAddress i = InetAddress.getByName("HostName");    
ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(8080, 0, i);   
//Returns the local address of this server socket    
System.out.println(ss.getInetAddress());

Which is the real question? Client's IP address or host's IP address?

I'm sorry for the confusion. Actually I need to know the client's IP address. I tried Paul's solution but it didn't work well for me, I know that it's because of the HostName I sent as the method's parameter.

Just so you guys know I've tried the following and it didn't work:

String ipAdd = ((HttpServletRequest) MessageContext.getCurrentContext().getProperty(HTTPConstants.MC_HTTP_SERVLETREQUEST)).getRemoteAddr();

Solved!!!

MessageContext inMessageContext = MessageContext.getCurrentMessageContext();
String ip = (String)inMessageContext.getProperty("REMOTE_ADDR");

Thank you guys for the support though.

[damir novosel]

does someone know how to get the client's port?
Seems like there is no property "REMOTE_PORT"
thanks
