Client IP address when Apache is a proxy

[semo ksar <ch...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I am trying to retrieve the client IP address
accessing the web 
services. Because Apache is our proxy for all
requests, when I try to 
retrieve the client IP I always get the localhost IP:
127.0.0.1

The following code returns the localhost IP:

MessageContext msgContext =
MessageContext.getCurrentContext();     
if(msgContext != null) {
      return
msgContext.getProperty(Constants.MC_REMOTE_ADDR).toString();
}
return "Unknown";

 From a servlet, obtaining the client IP address can
be achieved using 
this code.

   String ipAddress =
request.getHeader("x-forwarded-for");            
     if (ipAddress  == null) {
           ipAddress  =
request.getHeader("X_FORWARDED_FOR");
           if (ipAddress == null){
               ipAddress  = request.getRemoteAddr();
           }
       }           
  return IPaddress ; 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much
