I want to store the URL/ip that I received the request from.

For example I am (server) receives the request from ip address 176.15.14.3.

I want to get that ip address 176.15.14.3

Can I do that with Spring.

X-Forwarded-For value gives you the IP address of client. You can get the IP like below in spring. 

String remoteAddress = request.getHeader("X-Forwarded-For");//request--HTTPServletRequest Object
            if (remoteAddress == null) {
                remoteAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
            }

  • Your answer is nice. And correct, if theyre using a proxy, but you should really make it clear that this wont work unless you're using a reverse proxy, to avoid confusion – Zachary Craig Nov 18 '14 at 07:47

Assuming you have access to the HttpServletRequest Object, just call response.getRemoteAddr() which returns the remote host's ip represented as a string.

    Unfortunately it's not gonna work if your server is behind a proxy - which is usually the case. @re350 answer is actually closer to perfect. – Maciej Walkowiak Nov 17 '14 at 22:14
