Does anyone here know if there's a way to get the IP address of the
web session ...

I've never looked into it, but it stands to reason that the servlet that runs under Websphere would have access to the REMOTE_ADDR and REMOTE_USER environment variables, which are provided by the HTTP Server, and stored in the servlet's request object (IIRC).

That's just to say that I think those variables are there. I just don't know what to say about accessing them. Is the servlet source code available, and can it be modified?

Nathan.
