Everywhere on the web?

Thanks. Tomcat listens on whichever IP address is configured in your connector. If you don't specify an IP address, then it listens on 0.0.0.0. HttpServletRequest will only tell you what the client requested, which may or may not be the correct answer, depending on whether your app is behind a proxy or not. The point I'm making is that Tomcat might not know the address you want/need. java.net.InetAddress may help, depending on what it is you're actually trying to achieve. There was a discussion about this last year, if I remember correctly, you may wish to search the archives again. p
