Usage:

Let's suppose the following HTTP request (faces servlet mapping is a prefix mapping, /faces/*):

http://localhost:8080/MyApp/faces/index.xhtml

Further, let's apply the above methods, one by one, as follows:

·         get the HTTP request domain URL (Faces#getRequestDomainURL())

import org.omnifaces.util.Faces;

...

// returns http://localhost:8080

String requestDomainURL = Faces.getRequestDomainURL();

·         get the HTTP request base URL (Faces#getRequestBaseURL())

import org.omnifaces.util.Faces;

...

// returns http://localhost:8080/MyApp/

String requestBaseURL = Faces.getRequestBaseURL();

·         get the HTTP request URL (Faces#getRequestURL())

import org.omnifaces.util.Faces;

...

// returns http://localhost:8080/MyApp/faces/index.xhtml

String requestURL = Faces.getRequestURL();

·         get the HTTP request URI (Faces#getRequestURI())

import org.omnifaces.util.Faces;

...

// returns /MyApp/faces/index.xhtml

String requestURI = Faces.getRequestURI();

In the below figure, you can see these four methods and what they return:

Let's suppose the following HTTP request (faces servlet mapping is a suffix mapping, *.xhtml):
