It seems like simply adding something like "URLBackToMe" could be configured in a properties file, web.xml init-param, or even in the JNDI context for the webapp. That will almost certainly be easier and less error-prone than trying to sniff the HTTP port from one of Tomcat's connectors. In production, we have two connectors: one HTTP and one AJP. The AJP connector accepts connections from the load-balancer for "regular" traffic. The HTTP connector accepts localhost-only loopback connections for operations that do not need to be encrypted. We have both the "public" and "private" URLs to our webapp in configuration files so that they can be used as appropriate depending upon the situation. If you had a setup like the above (particularly if you were using two HTTP connectors instead of one AJP and one HTTP), you might not be able to tell which connector was the "right" one. Also, you might have connectors bound to different interfaces to support multi-hostname SSL, etc. In those cases, how do you determine what the "right" port is? I think it's better to solve this with configuration instead of trying to determine the environment from the inside. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6N+h4ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PAitACggQjcKsO2YUO4ZCeVoVQfLavH aE4AniuyPfiQ9/tx3dN9a0wZsExA12Wz =Gd3G -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
