How to obtain a client ip address on server side

[sven.plath]

Hey,

i ran into a new Problem. For my sample application, I need the IP address of the client that is connected. That needs to be stored in a SessionID:IP Map for referencing stuff. Now the problem is:

1) I can obtain the IP Address in GWT in a RemoteServiceServlet with getThreadLocalRequest().getRemoteAddr();

2) I can obtain the SessionID during a message callback with

     SessionContext context = SessionContext.get(message);

     context.getSession().getSessionId();

But how can i do both the same time? I don't want to create crazy workaround involving doing both ErraiBus and GWT RPC and tying them together somehow. This seems error prone. The SessionContext does not provide a feature to get the underlying ip address, does it? It is necessary to identify the client that connects and i dont want to do it with additional parameters in the url.

Thanks again!

Greetings,

Sven

You can obtain the HttpServletRequest that initiated the message with:

message.getResource(HttpServletRequest.class, HttpServletRequest.class.getName());
