Why not just use a relative link with a leading slash '/'? Without the
context root, the link would be above the projects, so you can just
put the context root of the other servlet in the URL.
As for getting the server name, there is no "one" server name, as the
URL of a web server is not always the name of the computer hosting the
web site. You can however get the URL of the server that the user
requested for the current request/response. The HTTP header for this
is 'SERVER_NAME'. This variable is also accessible through the
HttpServletRequest.getServerName() variable.
Assuming you are in a servlet environment (looks like you are), you
would get the variable like so:
((HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest()).getServerName()
In EL:
#{facesContext.externalContext.request.serverName}

Hi everyone,
I am working on a JSF project, and one commandLink would refer to a
different project (a servlet) on the same tomcat server. My question
is, how can I obtain the name of the server from a backing bean, so
that I can dynamically populate the commandLink no matter where the
war is deployed? Because my JSF project would always have to use the
servlet that coexists on the same server, so hardcoding the servername
into the commandLink value is not an option for real deployment.
I know in servlet there is a way to do that, and even in JSP... but
now I need to do that in JSF backing bean. Please help. Thanks!
Jim
