RE: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
Thanks Bill. I suppose I must have been dreaming about getServerName working. Our current production box is TC4.1.30, and for our next version of the app, I wanted to target TC5.0.29. Looks like it is a "must have".

Re: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
request.getServerName() is the value of the Host header. You want request.getLocalName().

RE: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
Those books are making reference to getting the client's IP/hostname. And that would be controlled through the connector attribute 'enableLookups'. This is about getting the Server's hostname. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:48 PM > To: Tomcat Users List > Subject: Re: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical > > > There is a setting somewhere in Tomcat (versions up to 4.1.X > at least) where you enable/disable reverse DNS.

Re: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
There is a setting somewhere in Tomcat (versions up to 4.1.X at least) where you enable/disable reverse DNS. Most of the time you want this off, but I think in your case you may need it turned on. I think the swtich is in the Tomcat server.xml, and it relates to the connector you are using. Its something like 'enableLookups'. While this sounds odd, two books I have state you need this to get names and not IP addresses. Also, the books mention using request.getRemoteHost(), and that it is effected by the settings in server.xml Hope it helps, Al G - Original Message - From: Mike Curwen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:36 pm Subject: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical > Yup, I've asked about/commented about this before.

Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
Yup, I've asked about/commented about this before. I'm having trouble with Vhosts, server names, and how to get the value I want out of request.getServerName(), and this is all with apache/jk/tomcat. (apache is in the 2's somewhere, jk (not jk2) and tomcat 4.1.30 and 5.0.29). "I'm only get the canonical name, help me get the alias" http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=108315928213678&w=2 "I don't care about alias, get me canonical". http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=106095508818371&w=2 So I know that both of these seem to have worked (or been doing a good imitation of it). But now, for the life of me, I can't get request.getServerName() to return the canonical ServerName from httpd.conf. apache's httpd.conf -- UseCanonicalName On ServerName devstar.myhost.com ServerAlias www.devstar.myhost.com DocumentRoot /home/data3/me20 AllowOverride None deny from all JkMount /*.jsp tomcat1 JkMount /login tomcat1 ErrorLog /var/log/test/error_log CustomLog /var/log/test/access_log common tomcat1's server.xml -- www.devstar.myhost.com http://www.devstar.myhost.com , I was hoping that request.getServerName() would give me devstar.myhost.com (without the www). But it doesn't. It (jk? tomcat?) doesn't seem to honour the useCanonical directive.
