Host name

I need to retrieve the host name of the server on which I am currently
running. I used:
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostName();
...but this returns the wrong host if it is a virtual host that took the
HttpRequest.
How can I get the name of the virtual host.
Thanks.

Try request.getServerName(). Haven't tried it, but it's supposed to work.

Cheers... Mike

How about trying request.getHEaders or request.getRequestURI

The second will require some parsing, but you should be able to get it from
there.
