Thanks Paul and George for quick response. Your solutions worked well and
fortunately one of my colleague told me the WORequestAdditions class which
contains a method called "originatingIPAddress(...) and I had that class in my
classpath so I used.
The class is under com.apress.practicalwo.practicalutilities package.
WORequestAdditions.originatingIPAddress(request);
