Tim is right, you can't do it directly. You *might* be able to construct it in a roundabout way though...
Let's assumg you know the method, http vs. https, and its always one or the other. Let's also assume that the <display-name> element in web.xml names the application context (i.e., if the URL is http://myserver/myapp, then <display-name>myapp<display-name>. I believe the following (without actually trying it) would work... String s = "http://";; s += new InetAddress.getHostName(); s += "/" + servletContext.getServletContextName(); Kind of hack solution, but it might be OK for your application (assuming it actually works!) -- Frank W.
