BBjHttpRequest::getRemoteHost (Deprecated)

BBjHttpRequest::getRemoteHost is deprecated for BBj 21.00 and higher, and has been replaced by BBxServletRequest::getRemoteHost.

Description

In BBj 12.00 and higher, this method returns the fully qualified name of the client or the last proxy that sent the request. If the engine cannot or chooses not to resolve the hostname (to improve performance), this method returns the dotted-string form of the IP address.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
string	getRemoteHost()

Parameters

None.

Return Value

a String containing the clients hostname or IP address

Remarks

The example below shows getting the remote host-name associated with the request within a BBjServlet.

Example

rem 'Obtain the instance of the BBjAPI object

let myAPI! = BBjAPI()
MyServlet! = new MyServlet()

data!.setCallback(data!.ON_WEB_CONNECTION, myServlet!, "myMethod")

process_events

rem 'Obtain the instance of the BBjAPI object
let myAPI! = BBjAPI()
MyServlet! = new MyServlet()

data!.setCallback(data!.ON_WEB_CONNECTION, myServlet!, "myMethod")

process_events

class public MyServlet
    method public void myMethod(BBjServletEvent p_event!)
        let chan = UNT
        request! = p_event!.getHttpRequest()
        response! = p_event!.getHttpResponse()
        response!.setContentType("text/html")
        open (chan)"JSERVLET"
        print (chan)"<html><body><h1>Hello BBj!</h1>"
        print (chan)"Remote Host:"+ request!.getRemoteHost()
        print (chan)"</body></html>"
