BBjspWebRequest::getRemoteHost (Deprecated)

The BBJSP system is deprecated. For new development, use BBxServlet.

Description

In BBj 16.0 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 BBJSP Servlet.

Example

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP web-page

<html>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>
        Remote Host:<%= #getRequest().getRemoteHost() %>
    </body>
</html>

This example demonstrates how this works in a BBJSP servlet

class public MyServlet

  field private BBjspWebRequest request!
  field private BBjspWebResponse response!
  field private BBjspWebSession session!

  method public void service(BBjspServletContext context!)

    #request! = context!.getRequest()
    #response! = context!.getResponse()

    #response!.setContentType("text/html")
    s! = #response!.getOutputStream()

    s!.write("<html><body><h1>Hello from BBJSP</h1>")
    s!.write("Remote Host:"+ #request!.getRemoteHost())
    s!.write("</body></html>")
