How to print the user machine name (Host Name) in java.

[ukbasak]

Hi,

I tried to print user name who ever accesss application. I added the code
request.getHost Name() and request.getRemo teAddr().

The get.getRemoteAd dr() is showing IP address but the code request.getHost Name() should show the host name but it also show the ip address also.

please give me any solution so that client machine name can be found.

Thanks in advance....

I assume that request in your code above above is an HttpServletRequ est object then from the API specs

If the engine cannot or chooses not to resolve the hostname (to improve performance), this method returns the dotted-string form of the IP address.

i.e It's not always possible to get the hostname.
