---

Method:

Usage:

·         inside a servlet filter or even a plain vanilla servlet (basically, when FacesContext is not available):

import org.omnifaces.util.Servlets;

...

@WebServlet("/MyServlet")

public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet {

 protected void processRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {

  // e.g. http://localhost:8080

  String domain = Servlets.getRequestDomainURL(request);

 }

 ...

}

·         in JSF, when FacesContext is available use, Faces#getRequestDomainURL(), or more clumsy (not recommended):

import org.omnifaces.util.Servlets;

...

// or simply use, Faces#getRequest()

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();

ExternalContext externalContext = context.getExternalContext();

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) externalContext.getRequest();

// e.g. http://localhost:8080

String domain = Servlets.getRequestDomainURL(request);
