Well, that certainly *is* information you can get within a webapp... it's fairly easy to construct that URL from with an Action for instance. From a plug-in though, I'm not so sure (interestingly, this question comes up frequently... would make for a good Wiki post...) Let's walk the object hierarchy and see if we can't find any help... Remember we're trying to construct http://myhost:8080/myAppContext dynamically... PlugIn: void init(ActionServlet servlet, ModuleConfig config) Ok, we have an ActionServlet instance... ActionServlet extends from HttpServlet... HttpServlet exposes a getServletContext() method... ServletContext: getServletContextName() Ah, ok, we have the myAppContext portion at least! Can we get host name? Well, generically we can: try { InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getLocalHost(); String hostname = addr.getHostName(); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { } Ok, so now we need the port and the protocol... and I'm stumped :) I don't think you could get the protocol without making a request, and the port I would think you would *have* to know before-hand anyway. Can you use config params for those two pieces of information? If it's always HTTP, then you just need to get the port, but again, that seems like something that would be OK as an init param.
