Getting client IP Address from a portlet

2007-06-01, 1:21 pm

Hi

I've trawled the forums for this and I haven't found a satisfactory solution so maybe you can help...

On a ServletRequest object there is a method called getRemoteAddr() which returns the IP Address of the client.

The PortalRequest object doesn't have this method.

How do I get hold of the Client IP Address from a portlet?

Cheers
