It is my understanding that IP is not really a reliable indicator of
location anyway, particularly for dial-up users. Even if you do manage to
figure out the location for a given IP, the odds are pretty good that the
location will be incorrect. For example anyone who uses AOL to connect will
be assigned an IP that places them in Virginia (because that is where the
gateway is), regardless of where they are actually located.

Hi siva,

I think you can use the following to get IP of client:
HttpServletRequest.getRemoteAddr()
1.
I asked the same question several month ago, and from the
repling emails, if your client use a "proxy" to connect to your servlet,
perhaps you will get the IP of "proxy"(not the IP of your client).
So now I don't use this way, now I use TCP socket to get IP
of my client.
