Are you using Flex Data Services? If so you can get the ServletContext
from with your RemoteObject like this:
String ipAddress = FlexContext.getHttpRequest().getRemoteAddr();

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Client IP Address
ya, this is not relevant as I am using RemoteObject
functionality.
I guess I will have to switch to HTTPPost instead of
RemoteObject
and create a servlet at the backend to process the request.
Thanks for the help.

Otherwise, these links might help you (some examples
show how to get REMOTE_ADDR in Java). Not sure if it's relevant.

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Client IP Address
I didn't frame my query properly. It was
incomplete. My bad.
Here's the scenario.
- I am using Java backend (tomcat)
- I am using Remote Object functionality.
Now from flex I wish to send the client IP when
I invoke a method on the Remote Java Object.
What is the best way (if at all there is one) to
send the client IP address ?
Thanks

The server can tell you what their IP
address is.
In PHP it would be something like this:
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
But remember that IP addresses can be
faked. And in the example above you might get their proxy's IP address,
and not the actual IP address of their computer/router.
Cheers,
Adam

Subject: [flexcoders] Client IP Address
Hi All,
I want to send client's (browser's) IP
address to the backend.
As I understand, Flex doesn't provide
support to fetch the client IP
Address.
What is the best and browser independent
way to send client IP to the
backend ?
Thanks
