probems getting the remote ip address in a bean

Hello,
in a bean, how can I extract the IP adress of a user?

I tried

        HttpServletRequest request = 
(HttpServletRequest)((ServletContext) 
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest());
        String IP = request.getRemoteHost();       

but whatever I did I got

        java.lang.ClassCastException: 
com.sun.faces.context.MyHttpServletRequestWrapper

Any ideas? Thanks a lot... Hans

Why are you casting against ServletContext?

HttpServletReq should be enough.

com.sun.faces. is code from the RI, shipped under the sun ;-)
