I think I get it. I've recently discovered what may be a completely
unrelated problem, but it is related to getServerPort(). It seems that
getServerPort() returns the http port that Apache is using to deliver the
JServ page which is probably as expected, but not entirely useful from the
Servlet context.

What I would like to receive from that is the port that the user thinks he
or she is hitting when viewing the page. In other words, I may be running
my servers on port 8000, with a load balancer making them look like their
on port 80. The getServerPort() method will return 8000 which is correct;
but if I tell the user to connect to me on port 8000, it will fail since
the real path to me is on port 80.

I'm guessing your problem is a little different in that you want to find
out which port Java is using to listen to AJP, is that correct? I don't
know how to do that from within a servlet, but with some changes to JServ
it could be possible, but probably not a standard thing for servlets to be
able to do. Am I somewhat correct in identifying your problem or are you
looking for something else?
