Hi Roland,
You can try reading the User-Agent header like this:
String useragent=request.getHeader("User-Agent");
now if this contains MSIE than the browser is Internet Explorer.
If not, but contains Mozilla than it is Netscape.
for other browsers i don't know but try to print it out the useragent
string and You will see.
Best wishes,
Andras.
