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

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.

If you want the machine's IP on their internal

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

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

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
