Take a look at the HttpServletRequest.getRemoteAddr() method (which is
inherited from ServletRequest). I *think* this is doing what you want.
However, you should be aware that if the client is behind a firewall or
proxy, many, many clients will have the same IP address, so it cannot be
used for any kind of unique identifier. That is, at any point in time,
hundreds of users within the company I work at are accessing the Internet,
but because we are behind a firewall that is acting as a proxy, we appear to
have the same IP address.
