Getting client IP addresse

[onsongoinc]

I have developed a web application using spring and would like to record the client IP address to keep track of people using the application. Any ideas on how I could do that? I would like to do it inside the controller class. Thanks

request.getRemoteAddr()

Returns the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the client or last proxy that sent the request. For HTTP servlets, same as the value of the CGI variable REMOTE_ADDR.
Returns:
a String containing the IP address of the client that sent the request

request.getRemoteAddr(); is giving me an error. Here is part of my code

------------------
public ModelAndView onSubmit(HttpServletRequest request, Object command, BindException errors) throws ServletException, IOException {
GoSlimAnnotation slimAnnotation = (GoSlimAnnotation) command;
String addr = request.getRemoteAddr();
------------------

This is the error I am getting

javax.servlet.ServletException: successView isn't set

I'm going out on a limb here, but I think this means your successView isn't set. You must set it in your XML / java code for your particular controller.

[onsongoinc]

I am setting the successView in the controller class. If I set it in the XML, it does not include the object I am adding. (i.e mav.addObject("goSlimCombinedList", lr);) Here is a sample of the code

----------
ModelAndView mav = new ModelAndView(getSuccessView());
mav.addObject("goSlimCombinedList", lr);
return mav;
---------

Is there a way of redirecting the setSuccessView from the XML file to my controller class?

Why not hoist an apache server instance in front. Then you can log what you like.
