Hi,

When a user connects a RAP web application, how to obtain the client information, such as from which country?

Thank you!

David

RWT.getRequest returns an HttpServletRequest
From there it's up to you to determine the IP address and from there, the country.

Hi,Chris,

Thank you for reply!
Yes, I knew RWT.getRequest().getRemoteAddr() can get the client IP, is there a way to directly get the "country of the connected client" from the RWT/RAP api without any other 3rd party?

No, that requires a database to map IP addresses to countries.
If you wish to do this for locale reasons, you can check the Accept-Language header
