WICKET: how to get client ip / address

Question

I use wickets 1.5.1, I could not understand this.

public class MyPage extends WebPage { public MyPage() { String clientAddress = ...? 

Answer 1

  WebRequest req = (WebRequest) RequestCycle.get().getRequest(); HttpServletRequest httpReq = (HttpServletRequest) req.getContainerRequest(); String clientAddress = httpReq.getRemoteHost(); 

Answer 2

Subclass WebClientInfo , to provide a public method that delegates to secure WebClientInfo.getRemoteAddr() . Then create a method for the request in the custom class RequestCycle . In Wicket 1.3-1.4, I achieved this by subclassing RequestCycle , but since 1.5 it seems like everything is different: RequestCycle in Wicket 1.5

WebClientInfo has the advantage of requesting the X-Forwarded-For erquest parameter and returning the correct IP address if your server is behind a proxy / load balancer that uses XFF .

Answer 3

Using Wicket 6 and 7, you can do the following:

 String remoteAddress = ((WebClientInfo)Session.get().getClientInfo()) .getProperties() .getRemoteAddress();
