My gut feeling is that this is something you should configure explicitly.
You're looking for information that J2EE does not require passing to servlets as part of their initialization mechanism, so Restlet has no way of knowing this. (There may be a tomcat specific way using attributes of the ServletContext or something, but I know of no standard way) In a Restlet Component environment where Restlet is controlling the servers, you could interrogate the Component's servers and see how they are configured, but even in this case you would have to account for the fact that multiple Servers can pass requests to the same Application, and they can be added or removed at runtime ... which sounds like a big undertaking to keep track of. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Bronkhorst" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 7:33:44 AM (GMT-0500) America/New_York Subject: Re: Finding server port from ServerServlet Hi thierry, Thank you for your response, but that will not work. I am trying to do this _before_ any requests come in, in the Application object. I don't have a request object at that time.
