How to retrieve client IP address?

[stephenlim]

I am currently using JBoss 4.0.4 GA Patch 1, where Axis Web Services is replaced by JBoss Web Services now. Previously i can use Axis's MessageContext class to retrieve client remote IP address, but not anymore in JBoss Web Services. Is anyone know the way to get the client remote IP address when they invoke the Web Services? Thanks in advance.

In you server side code, put the following code:

import org.apache.axis.MessageContext;
import org.apache.axis.Constants;
...
...

in your webservice method, put:
public void someMethod()
{

MessageContext context = MessageContext.getCurrentContext();
String callerIP = (String)context.getProperty(Constants.MC_REMOTE_ADDR);
system.out.println("CallerIP = " + callerIP);

// Your code goes here...
}

Bye,
Julio.

Thanks for the reply. The solution here is specifically for Axis web services but now in JBoss version 4.0.4, the Axis web services is replaced by JBoss web services. So the code is not applicable in here. Any other ways?
