Re: [Resteasy-users] RestEasy over Netty, getting remote client's address

[Craig C. <cra...@gm...>]

Hi Sean,

Our business is monitoring end-user systems.  So an IP address of that
remote system *is* part of our business logic ;-)  I don't know why I'd
have to justify it, just look at HttpServletRequest, you can get the remote
address of the connected entity using that API, but because we're in netty
we don't have access to that.  We want similar information from netty that
we get from a web container.  Hopefully that's clear.

Cheers,
Craig
