Hello All,
This is post is about getting browser details (version, name ) , platform details (Operating System details) ,server and client IP addresses in Oracle ADF Application
sometimes we need these small but important details -

Code to get this information-

        RequestContext requestCtx = RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
        Agent agent = requestCtx.getAgent();
        String version = agent.getAgentVersion();
        String browser = agent.getAgentName();
        String platform = agent.getPlatformName();
        String platformVersion = agent.getPlatformVersion();
        FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
        HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) fctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
        StringBuilder detailMsg = new StringBuilder("<html><body><b>Browser Agent and Ip address details</b><br>");
        detailMsg.append("<ul><li><b>Browser-</b>" + browser + "</li><li><b>Version-</b>" + version +
                         "</li><li><b>Plateform-</b>" + platform + "</li>");
        detailMsg.append("<li><b>Plateform Version-</b>" + platformVersion + "</li><li><b>Server IP-</b>" +
                         request.getLocalAddr() + "</li><li><b>Client IP-</b>" + request.getRemoteAddr() +
                         "</li></ul>");
        detailMsg.append("</body></html>");
        FacesMessage errMsg = new FacesMessage(detailMsg.toString());
        errMsg.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_INFO);
        fctx.addMessage(null, errMsg);
