Automatically capture client details into an entity
I will like to automatically capture the client details - IP address,
Browser Agent of a client accessing my isis web app into an entity. Any
ideas?

Hmm. I will think about it and see what else I can do.

No... Wicket is only used in the wicket viewer :-)
You could have the same API in the dom, but you'd need a different
implementation.
I think the easiest thing might be to write a servlet filter to grab the
httpservletrequest in all cases, and attach to a threadlocal for the
duration of the call. Then, your service implementation can just read from
that threadlocal.
This SO answer [1] might give you some clues.

Will this also work for the RO viewer? I want to apply this to both wicket
viewer and the RO viewer

Re: Automatically capture client details into an entity

The raw information you want is available via Wicket APIs, eg [1]
So, define an interface to this in your dom project, eg:
public interface IWebUserService {
String currentIpAddress();
String currentBrowserAgent();
}
and write an implementation in the webapp project, leveraging said Wicket
APIs.
In your webapp project, register this new service.
In your dom project, inject the service (via its interface type) into your
domain objects.
