Hello,
I've been working on getting login authentication
(http://www.nabble.com/T5-how-to-control-login-state-tf4744201.html) to
<http://www.nabble.com/T5-how-to-control-login-state-tf4744201.html) to>
work for my application and have hit a roadblock. How do I retrieve the
remote IP address of the current request while I am in a Dispatcher or
RequestFilter? I'm using Chris Lewis's example as a starting point.

My UserPermissions Object is currently composed of a User member. A
User object contains the login name, password, ipaddress and various
other information. The IP address is currently only available via a
HttpServletRequest Object. I tried using the method explained in the
wiki on how to obtain the HttpServletRequest using RequestGlobals, but
that didn't seem to work. What I think I need to do is pass in a
request object to the UserPermissions constructor so that I can obtain
the IP address from that request. Using RequestGlobals my request
object is set to null.
btw, I looked at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-1272 as
well as the thread
http://www.nabble.com/-jira--Created%3A-%28TAPESTRY-1272%29-Get-remote-c
lient-IP-address-through-Request-wrapper-tf3234980.html#a8989668 and I
couldn't get Massimo's example to work with the annotation
@Inject("infrastructure:Request") to work properly. Eclipse complains
about an undefined attribute value for the @Inject annotation. His demo
seems promising but I am apparently missing a definition somewhere.
Any Ideas?
