Client IP address from Thread

[Luca Merolla <lu...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

how can I get the client ip address from Thread in Tomcat?

In JBoss 7.1.1 I was using this piece of code

Thread.currentThread().getName();

and the generated output was:

jboss - http-localhost.localdomain-127.0.0.1-8080-1
tomee - http-bio-8080-exec-1

I want to get the IP address in the format of 127.0.0.1.

Thanks in advance,
Luca

Yes, I have followed Romain advise and now I use the WebFilter
with getRemoteAddr() from HttpServletRequest and it should be
AS-independent.

That's not a good way to get IP, you're depending on app server. You should
get the IP from HTTP request. Check out httpServletRequest java doc.
HttpServletRequest request = //get from container
 request.getRemoteAddr(); //ip string

Hi,

for such a case i try to avoid to depend on any convention as much as
possible.

I'd personnaly use a web filter to store it from the request.

That's said you can probably configure tomcat executor service with a
custom name for each connector to get what you want
