Hi captain,

Do we have a component or attribute that can determine the size of a browser or determine the type of a device used in accessing the project?

Hi,

by using HttpSessionAccess.getCurrentRequest() you can access the current http request (HttpServletRequest-instance).

There you can access the header attributes of the http-request.

CaptainCasa adds the following attributes in addition to the normal ones:

"eclnt-width" => width of browser
"eclnt-height" => height of browser

Of course the width/height are not really strong indicators for the device type - this refers to the actual browser window, which could be "everything" on desktop systems.

But: the default attribute "User-Agent" should help you much more. It is not totally simple to get some device type out of it... but there are plenty of examples you can copy from StackOverflow! ;-)

Regards, Björn

Thanks captain!
