[Building Sakai] EntityBroker IP Filtering

[Aaron Zeckoski]

If you are trying to get the IP address of the server you are
currently on you can do this:
            try {
                InetAddress i4 = Inet4Address.getLocalHost();
                serverName = i4.getHostAddress();
            } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
                // could not get address, do something else
            }

If you want to get the IP address of the request:
String ipAddress = (HttpServletRequest) request.getRemoteAddr();

You can get the request in your entityprovider using this capability:

Hope that helps
