Re: Get IP Address of session for WebFacing

This is off the top off my head - using a normal field that gets hidden -
as opposed to a field defined as hidden in the DDS. You get more options
to manipulate the field if you do this. You can condition your field to be
hidden in green screen using an indicator set to the value of the
QQFEnvironment() API if you have green screen users...

In the 'before' HTML overrides section put the following :-

<input type="hidden" id="l<%=zOrder%>_RECFMT$FIELD" value="
<%=request.getRemoteAddr()%>"></input><%--

..and in the after section, put

--%>

This basically comments out the generated field, but leaves the JS
declarations for it intact, and replaces it with your own hidden field
which has the same ID as Webfacing would have given your field, and the
value set to the IP address...

If you have no choice but to use a DDS hidden field then it is still
do-able but needs a bit of JavaScript...

Re: [WDSCI-L] Get IP Address of session for WebFacing






Since I posted the question I figured out:

<%=request.getRemoteAddr() %>

will get me the IP address of the PC. Now I'm working on the syntax to
drop that value into a display file field. If you have the syntax on that
handy, I'd love to see it. Otherwise, I'll figure it out eventually...

Thanks for the reply!

In the RPG layer or the web layer? It's easy to get it in the web layer
and then pass it down to the RPG - e.g. in a hidden field...

[WDSCI-L] Get IP Address of session for WebFacing






Has anyone figured out how to retrieve the current IP address of a given
webfacing session?



Maybe an IBM'er monitoring the list?



Thanks,
