Get remote IP address at connection timeout

[royce123]

Hello everybody,

i am really new to netty, but for now i already like its performance.
But there is something that bothers me:
If there happens a connection timeout and i am catching the exception i'd
like to have the remote host's ip address to process the further error
handling.

i am implementing the SimpleChannelHandler Interface and overwrite this
method: 
public void exceptionCaught(ChannelHandlerContext ctx, ExceptionEvent e) {

		InetSocketAddress remote =
InetSocketAddress)e.getChannel().getRemoteAddress();

		String clientIP = remote.getAddress().getHostAddress();
                e.getChannel().close();
		
	}

As you can see, i am trying to get the ip adress, but it always results as
NULL probably because netty does not know the address anymore.
Can you tell me any solution how i cat the ip address of the client who
caused the timeout
exception. 

Any hints would really be appreciated.

thank you,

best regards
