How to get the client IP Address?

Question

Is it possible to get somehow the client IP-Address, when the user opens a User Dialog? For example the user is logged in and have the task list open, then opens one Task => start Method of an "User Dialog" gets called. And after this i would like to add an Script step (or anything else) to read the users client IP Address.

I already tried to find it somewhere in "ivy.session" or "ivy.request" without success.

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

There is no safe way to get it, but basically you can interpret the request headers as described here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16558869/getting-ip-address-of-client

To get access to this API you just need to cast the the IRequest instance up:

IRequest request = Ivy.request();
if (request instanceof IHttpRequest)
{
  HttpServletRequest tomcatRequest = (IHttpRequest)Ivy.request()).getHttpServletRequest();
  // do header analysis...
}
