Basically what I want is to know the name or IP address of the machine from where the user is accessing my application so that I can provide the customization option to the user to make its own homepage by setting the selected home page as cookie alongwith the IP address.
Do you have any idea how can I provide the user with this customization option by any ohter way?

Hi,

you can try to use Executions.getCurrent().getRemoteAddr() and Executions.getCurrent().getRemoteHost() (both methods are delegates from ServletRequest):

More info here:

Hi Maik, I tried this but it gives me the machine name where the application is deployed i.e. server.
any other way I can do it?

Thanks, Dino

Do you run your application-server behind a HTTP-Server like Apache or a Proxy? If so, you have to look if the HTTP-Server/Proxy adds a X-Forwarded-For-Header to the request:
