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

[Sean D. <sea...@gm...>]

I'm not an expert in Netty - and I hope I understood your question - but....

It looks like there's a "remoteAddress()" on Channel (name different in
netty 4 vs. 3).

http://netty.io/4.0/api/io/netty/channel/Channel.html#remoteAddress()

Note that this can deceive if there's a gateway / proxy in play.
