                 Key: EJBTHREE-902
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/EJBTHREE-902
             Project: EJB 3.0
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: EJB3 Extensions
    Affects Versions: EJB 3.0 RC9 - Patch 1
         Environment: This is for Cisco.  It will be running on their customer installed equipment which will include Linux, PC, Solaris.  Target JBossAS is 4.0.5.
            Reporter: Robb Greathouse
            Priority: Minor


Talked to Carlos De Wolf and he asked me to enter this.

They want to be able to retrieve the client's IP address.  They want to do this in the same manner whether the client is coming in through RMI or web.

They want to use the IP for logging, security, and routing of requests.  They might also like to use it in connection with Drools for firing off different rule sets for different clients or locatioins based on IP address.  The Drools use is in the future and speculative at this point.

This would mean that the IP address would be needed on the server side.  The only way I can see to do this would be to provide a configuration that would capture it on the client side and pass it through to the server side.  The capture would have to take place in both the RMI and the Web server.
