i hope someone can help me ... i am using apache tomcat 8.0.0-RC5 and JSR-356 web socket API ... I have 2 questions: 1) Is it possible to get the client ip on @OnOpen method ?? 2) Is it possible to get the origin of the connection ??? I followed the websocket example which comes with the distribution of tomcat and i was not able to find the answers .... My java class is basically as follow @ServerEndpoint(value = "/data.socket") public class MyWebSocket { @OnOpen public void onOpen(Session session) { // Here is where i need the origin and remote client address } @OnClose public void onClose() { // disconnection handling } @OnMessage public void onMessage(String message) { // message handling } @OnError public void onError(Session session, Throwable throwable) { // Error handling } }
