I am trying to develop a Java web application (Servlet) which I need to get clients IP address.
Following is my code so far:
String ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
In this case most of the time I get the 'Default gateway address' (147.120.1.5). Not my machine IP address(174.120.100.17).
String ipAddress = request.getHeader("X-FORWARDED-FOR");
if (ipAddress == null) {
ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
}
In this case most of the time I get the 'Default gateway address' (147.120.1.5). Not my machine IP address (174.120.100.17).
InetAddress IP=InetAddress.getLocalHost();
System.out.println(IP.getHostAddress());
In this case I got the server IP Address (147.120.20.1).
My IP address in 147.120.100.17. Now I don't know how to get the real client IP address.
Thank you very much.
Try this one,
String ipAddress = request.getHeader("X-FORWARDED-FOR");
if (ipAddress == null) {
ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
}

Try this one. for all condition
private static final String[] HEADERS_TO_TRY = {
"X-Forwarded-For",
"Proxy-Client-IP",
"WL-Proxy-Client-IP",
"HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR",
"HTTP_X_FORWARDED",
"HTTP_X_CLUSTER_CLIENT_IP",
"HTTP_CLIENT_IP",
"HTTP_FORWARDED_FOR",
"HTTP_FORWARDED",
"HTTP_VIA",
"REMOTE_ADDR" };
private String getClientIpAddress(HttpServletRequest request) {
for (String header : HEADERS_TO_TRY) {
String ip = request.getHeader(header);
if (ip != null && ip.length() != 0 && !"unknown".equalsIgnoreCase(ip)) {
return ip;
}
}
return request.getRemoteAddr();
}
In case, you are trying to get the IP-address for Dev-environment then you can use this:-
public String processRegistrationForm(HttpServletRequest request)
{
String appUrl = request.getScheme() + "://"+ request.getLocalAddr();
return appUrl;
}
The request.getLocalAddr()
will return the IP-address of the request receiving system.
Hope it helps.
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
/**
* Simple Java program to find IP Address of localhost. This program uses
* InetAddress from java.net package to find IP address.
*
*/
public class IPTest {
public static void main(String args[]) throws UnknownHostException {
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
//Getting IPAddress of localhost - getHostAddress return IP Address
// in textual format
String ipAddress = addr.getHostAddress();
System.out.println("IP address of localhost from Java Program: " + ipAddress);
//Hostname
String hostname = addr.getHostName();
System.out.println("Name of hostname : " + hostname);
}
}
Output:
IP address of localhost from Java Program: 190.12.209.123
Name of hostname : PCLOND3433
