Code:

String browserType=(String)request.getHeader("User-Agent");

now if you print browserType , you will get the information of browser.

Code:

private String getBrowserType(String currValue){
String browser = new String("");
String version = new String("");
if(currValue != null ){
if((currValue.indexOf("MSIE") == -1) && (currValue.indexOf("msie") == -1)){
browser = "NS";
int verPos = currValue.indexOf("/");
if(verPos != -1) 
version = currValue.substring(verPos+1,verPos + 5);
}
else{
browser = "IE";
String tempStr = currValue.substring(currValue.indexOf("MSIE"),currValue.length());
version = tempStr.substring(4,tempStr.indexOf(";"));

}

}
System.out.println(" now browser type is " + browser +" " + version);

return browser + " " + version;

}

For the browser part you need to parse the request's User-Agent section.

Code:

String browserType = request.getHeader("User-Agent");

There you'll find the relevant information...
The following jsp will output your ip address and user-agent:

Your user-agent is:

Code:

<%=request.getHeader("user-agent")%>

Your IP address is:

Code:

<%=request.getRemoteAddr()%>

To find out what browser and/or OS the user is using, parse the user-agent header.
For example:

Code:

<%
String userAgent = request.getHeader("user-agent");
if (userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") > -1) {
  out.println("Your browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer<br/>");
}

you can user this function for get browser name and version

Code:

<%!

public String  getBrowserInfo( String Information )
   {
          String browsername = "";
          String browserversion = "";
          String browser = Information  ;
          if(browser.contains("MSIE")){
              String subsString = browser.substring( browser.indexOf("MSIE"));
              String Info[] = (subsString.split(";")[0]).split(" ");
              browsername = Info[0];
              browserversion = Info[1];
           }
         else if(browser.contains("Firefox")){

              String subsString = browser.substring( browser.indexOf("Firefox"));
              String Info[] = (subsString.split(" ")[0]).split("/");
              browsername = Info[0];
              browserversion = Info[1];
         }
         else if(browser.contains("Chrome")){

              String subsString = browser.substring( browser.indexOf("Chrome"));
              String Info[] = (subsString.split(" ")[0]).split("/");
              browsername = Info[0];
              browserversion = Info[1];
         }
         else if(browser.contains("Opera")){

              String subsString = browser.substring( browser.indexOf("Opera"));
              String Info[] = (subsString.split(" ")[0]).split("/");
              browsername = Info[0];
              browserversion = Info[1];
         }
         else if(browser.contains("Safari")){

              String subsString = browser.substring( browser.indexOf("Safari"));
              String Info[] = (subsString.split(" ")[0]).split("/");
              browsername = Info[0];
              browserversion = Info[1];
         }          
    return browsername + "-" +browserversion;
 }
%>
<% out.println(getBrowserInfo(request.getHeader("User-Agent")));%>
