You are right, should have been: request.getLocalAddr() - my bad.
Also, from the socket object you can always call
socket.getLocalAddress() on an outgoing connection. This is useful if
you want to make sure you are getting the IP for a particular network.

Yuval, wouldn't that give you the client's address? I thought she
wanted the server's ip address, with the added wrinkle that her
server has multiple network interfaces.

You can only get your actual IP after opening a connection. Of
course it can change depending on where the connection is coming
from.
Alternatively you can open a connection to a known public server,
and figure out your IP using the resulting socket. If you are going
through a NAT this might not be your actual IP but the IP on your
side of the NAT.

Hello,
Can you tell me how I can get the IP address of the interface that
is running Tomcat? I can't use localhost, I need the IP of the
physical interface.
Thanks,
Natalie
