Normally, you can use following to get the client’s IP address that’s accessing your Java web application.

String ipAddress = request.getRemoteAddr();

If the client will use proxy, you better use solution from here: Get client ip from HttpServer

You can find a lot of other resources how to do it in Java (for example using sockets).

For geolocating IP address you can use for example this API: http://freegeoip.net/
