Re: [Webassembletool-users] get RemoteAddress through WAT.

[François-Xavier B. <fra...@ce...>]

Hello,

Currently, there is no way to know the IP address of the remote client from
aggregated applications. You could add logs in your aggregator application
or on your front Apache server if you are using one, but not on the
aggregated applications.

It could be a nice feature in the next version of WAT to forward the IP
address of remote clients to the aggredated applications. I guess the best
way would be to do the same as Apache mod_proxy : add a "X-Forwarded-For"
request header.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html

I just added a feature request in the tracker :

Objet : [Webassembletool-users] get RemoteAddress through WAT.

Hello,
I use WAT 2.3 for a while in production environments, with the reverse proxy
Aggregator Servlet ( which aggregates Jahia CMS and other web
providers)

Everything works fine now ,but I'm having problems with providers which need
to get IP address of remote clients ( to do logs with log4j, or anything
else about remoteAdress of HTTP client....eg. sending information about form
validation......)

Indeed, Providers uses basically HttpServletRequest.getRemoteAddress to get
HTTP clients, but get finally the IP of the server running WAT Aggregator
Servlet.

Is there a way to get the real remoteAddress instead of this through WAT
Aggregator ?
Any idea would be appreciate !
Best Regards,
Christophe Dumonet
