How to get the IP address of the client?

[jiangxuelei]

I think ServerInvokeRequest should be extended. For example, add a ChannelHandlerContext field?

We probably want to expose context object similar to how @ThriftHeader is used. The API for this is tricky since the context is inherently transport specific.

For example, address could be done like this:

@ThriftMethod
void test(@ThriftContext("clientAddress") HostAndPort address);

I see a few options for the type of the context object:

• Use a specific type like HostAndPort which is transport specific. The user is required to pick the right type for the bound transport. (probably fine since we only have one real transport type)
• Use String for everything. Has obvious downsides for complex objects (like TLS information).
• Use specific types, but also allow conversion to String.

Thank for reply. Version 1.18 can solve this problem? @electrum

No, it’s not implemented yet.
