Its depends on whether Kazi meant getServerName() or getServletName() .. I
was assuming he made a spelling mistake (its a frequent compiler warning on

As you cant get access to the Servlet through the ServletContext (deprecated
and doesn't work anymore)...
But if you want the ServerName yes do that...;-)
