JAVA: How to get the client IP address in a webservice

28 Apr 2010 @ 12:19 PM

This works in GlassFish v2, but I’m sure it should work in any Java app server

@Path("")
public class terminal {
    @Context private javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest hsr;
.
.
.
    @GET
    @Path("get_time")
    @Produces("text/plain")
    public String get_time(@QueryParam("license_code") String license_code)
    {
        Connection con = null;
        try
        {
            String ip = hsr.getRemoteAddr();
