getHttpServletRequest().getHeader("User-Agent")

This should not throw nullpointerexception. Instead it should give the text

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko

for IE 11 in standards mode, and

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.3; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C)

in compability view. You can match those if you want to. However, as mentioned in this article, user agent sniffing is not recommended.
