Iain- Unless of course you only make this assignment in the init method Thanks, Martin- ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <users@tomcat.apache.org> Sent: Wednesday, December 21, 2005 12:17 PM Subject: RE: ServletContextListener - how to detect http path of web application?
Thanks, I might try that. I already made a javax.servlet.Filter, that catches the first request to the server, calls HttpServletRequest.getContextPath(), and stores the result. Of course the Filter actually gets hit on *every single request* to the server. You might call it a brute force solution :-) Iain -----Original Message----- From: Frank W.

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.
