Many thanks Axel Faust and luis.colorado@chpmail.com
I'am using the logs of tomcat short term but now would like to have a more integrated solution.
So followed Axel suggestion, and was able to the client IP address using an Interceptor:
public class CustomHandlerInterceptor implements WebRequestInterceptor {
public CustomHandlerInterceptor() {
}
public void preHandle(WebRequest request) throws Exception {
HttpServletRequest httpServletRequest = ((DispatcherServletWebRequest) request).getRequest();
getClientIpAddress(httpServletRequest);
}
public void postHandle(WebRequest request, ModelMap model) throws Exception {
}
public void afterCompletion(WebRequest request, Exception ex) throws Exception {
}
private String getClientIpAddress(HttpServletRequest request) {
String ipAddress = request.getHeader("X-FORWARDED-FOR");
if (ipAddress == null) {
ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();
}
return ipAddress;
}
}
The above being in a share-amp, but now I would like to store this new auditable data (ip address).
For that it seems I need to use AuditComponent.recordAuditValues.
I tried injecting the bean AuditComponent (using share-amp-slingshot-application-context.xml) but got an expected class not found.
Also tried making the interceptor in repo-amp, there I'am able to inject easily the auditComponent, but cannot get the ServletRequest...
How can I make the obtained ip-address accessible for audit logs?
Is it even right to use AuditComponent in share?
