How to know Geographic location from an IP address

I have created a login application in jsp/servlet in my web project and I want to know about the geographic locations of different users those access my login page. How can I know that a person is accessing my login page from where? For example: If a person is accessing a page from Canada then a record will be inserted into my database such as : IP: 20.4.9.134 and location: Canada.

Solution

  • I use this:

    http://freegeoip.net/xml/122.169.8.137

    Or

    http://www.geoplugin.net/xml.gp?ip=xx.xx.xx.xx

    Easy call and it throws you an xml with everything you need to know

    Edit: New location for geoip
