retrieve IP from end terminal

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

i need to retrieve the IP of the terminal in which a purchase order is emitted. The adapter used is HTTP. I need to manipulate the IP in XI to be able to create a sort of ID.

Any idea of how to achieve it?

thanks.

Hi Eduardo,

not in the standard. You can write a Java servlet, which is catching the request , reads the IP and add it to the payload and routing the result to the http adapter. You can use the J2EE engine of WAS and deploy the servlet to it.

If it is file adapter, u can go for a shell script with particular OS commands.

Hi Eduardo,

you can use the NWDS to deploy an servlet to the J2EE engine.

Hi Eduardo,

you invoke the servlet via http. The servlet itself invokes the http adapter of XI. The servlet has to catch the IP and merge the IP with a string operation into the XML stream, to avoid a lot work parsing the XML. May be as attribute of the root element.
