Hi folks,
I looked into CarbonUIUtils and found an interesting method *public static
String getServerURL(ServletContext servletContext, HttpSession
httpSession). *I can get the ServletContext from the application
host-object but there seems to be no method to obtain the vanilla
HttpSession from the session host-object. @Ruchira shall we improve the
session host-object to have method to get HttpSession?

Also I hope CarbonUIUtils won't be removed in the future refactoring.

Cheers~
