Outgoing requests to match a specific IP
Hello, we have a computer that is registered to two IP addresses. I have installed Tomcat on this computer and I have deployed a web application. This web application does some XML processing and then sends a request to another server. This other server is configured to only accept requests from a specific IP address. Unfortunatelly this IP address is not the one Tocmat is bind to when an outgoing request leaves. My question is how I can make Tomcat to tie a specific request to otehr IP address, the one that is allowed to connect to the second server. All information I have found so far is only for incoming requests (listening) not for outgoing. Any help is appreciated Regards Panos __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: Outgoing requests to match a specific IP
Its not a tomcat setting, it java socket programming. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/Socket.html#Socket(java.net.InetAddress,%20int,%20java.net.InetAddress,%20int) Whatever library is making the outbound call should have an option to choose the local ip address the connection is bound to. If it doesn't, then you are SOL. -Tim Panos Konstantinidis wrote: Hello, we have a computer that is registered to two IP addresses.

Re: Outgoing requests to match a specific IP
Hello Tim, thank you for your prompt reply. Your solution would work, however we are using a third party API that does this call to the specific server (actually what it is doing is to issue an HTTP request to another Servlet), and I do not have access to the source code, nor I would like to decompile the API and modify the source code. Any other alternatives?
