Tracking client IP address at thrift server

[Akshay Singh <ak...@yahoo.com>]

Hi users,


I am (very) new to Thrift, so might be asking a question which has been answered many times.

I
 am running a thrift server, which is accessed by multiple clients. I 
simply to want to keep track of the requesting client's address at 
server, and update some counters based on that. 

Web search gave me these relevant links, 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1053
http://grokbase.com/t/thrift/user/11aqrp2782/how-can-i-get-the-clients-ip-from-the-server-of-thrift

But I could not really make out a simple method to   obtain the address the client machines at server. Please help.

Regards,
Akshay

I did it by decorating the TProcessor like this psuedo-code.

  -craig

 class TrackingProcessor implements TProcessor {
    TrackingProcessor (TProcessor processor) {this.processor=processor;}

    public boolean process(TProtocol in, TProtocol out) throws TException {
      TTransport t = in.getTransport();
      InetAddress ia = t instanceof TSocket ?
          ((TSocket)t).getSocket().getInetAddress() : null;
      // Now you have the IP address, so what ever you want.

      // Delegate to the processor we are decorating.
      return processor.process(in,out);
    }
 }
