Getting X-FORWARDED-FOR details from Http Request
Hi,
I am trying to get the X-Forwarded-For header details from the user login request in my PRPC personal editions (Pega 8.1). I added the following code to ApplicationProfileSetup activity. I am getting the "request" as Null, hence it is not getting into the if condition. Can you any one suggest, what might be going wrong in the below code?
Thanks

Finally I am able to fix this with following code :-)
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest req = (javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)tools.getRequestor().getRequestorPage().getProperty("pxHTTPServletRequest").getObjectValue();

Hi,
Your code is correct. The header may not be there so you are getting a null result.
Try outputting all the headers we are receiving.
java.util.Enumeration e = request.getHeaderNames();
String header = null;
while (e.hasMoreElements()) {
header = (String) e.nextElement();
oLog.infoForced(header + ": " + request.getHeader(header));
}
We also have a logger called logHttpRequest that will output all incoming header and cookies. If you enable that to debug you can get the same thing.
Hope this helps,
--Chris
