request.getRemoteAddr();

You can only get your actual IP after opening a connection. Of course  
it can change depending on where the connection is coming from.

Alternatively you can open a connection to a known public server, and  
figure out your IP using the resulting socket. If you are going  
through a NAT this might not be your actual IP but the IP on your side  
of the NAT.
