I need to capture all the http/https requests that are going through the browsers of my system using JAVA servlets.
Can I achieve that?

You can do this is with an implementation of ServletRequestListener::requestInitialized(ServletRequestEvent sre)
The Documentation say:
requestInitialized(ServletRequestEvent sre)
Receives notification that a ServletRequest is about to come into scope of the web application.
The class could look like this:
import java.sql.Timestamp;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Map.Entry;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequestEvent;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequestListener;
import javax.servlet.annotation.WebListener;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
@WebListener
public class RequestListener implements ServletRequestListener {
public RequestListener() {}
public void requestDestroyed(ServletRequestEvent sre) {}
public void requestInitialized(ServletRequestEvent sre) {
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) sre.getServletRequest();
System.out.println("Timestamp: " + new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()));
System.out.println("SessionId: " + request.getSession(false));
System.out.println("RequestURL: " + request.getRequestURL());
System.out.println("Method: " + request.getMethod());
System.out.println("Parameters: ");
for (Entry<String, String[]> entry : request.getParameterMap().entrySet()) {
System.out.println(entry.getKey() + " = " + Arrays.asList(entry.getValue()));
}
}
}
In the console you get something like this:
Timestamp: 2017-01-25 19:12:04.36
SessionId: null
RequestURL: https://localhost:8181/jee6/ResponseFilterTest/Fiz
Method: GET
Parameters:
p1 = [v1]
p2 = [v2]
Instead in the console you can store the data in a DB or write to a log.
If you need to differentiate between local and remote requests you can use request.getRemoteAddr()
. For local requests it is 127.0.0.1
