Questions[gwt](server)

Good morning!

I have nginx setup in front of jetty 6, which is running a GWT application. I am trying to forward the ip address, and all the answers I find on the internet tell me to do this:

proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

This works just fine, except that jetty's logs don't show the X-Real-IP, they show 127.0.0.1. Also, jetty/GWT has 127.0.0.1 for getThreadLocalRequest().getRemoteAddr(), although I can access the X-Real-IP to get the correct remote IP.

Any ideas how to get the correct remote ip for the jetty logs and also get getThreadLocalRequest().getRemoteAddr() to work correctly?

Thanks!

I have a Flex RIA solution served by a Php backend up and running.

Because of the growing needs for system admin, I would like to implement a GWT/Java solution for this.

It seems to be possible to have Apache and Tomcat serving the java parts using mod_jk.

Are there and drawbacks in such a setup? Performance? Security?
