RE: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
Thanks Bill. I suppose I must have been dreaming about getServerName working. Our current production box is TC4.1.30, and for our next version of the app, I wanted to target TC5.0.29. Looks like it is a must have. Yoav will be happy. ;) -Original Message- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Barker Sent: Thursday, October 28, 2004 12:21 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical request.getServerName() is the value of the Host header.

Re: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
There is a setting somewhere in Tomcat (versions up to 4.1.X at least) where you enable/disable reverse DNS. Most of the time you want this off, but I think in your case you may need it turned on. I think the swtich is in the Tomcat server.xml, and it relates to the connector you are using. Its something like 'enableLookups'. While this sounds odd, two books I have state you need this to get names and not IP addresses. Also, the books mention using request.getRemoteHost(), and that it is effected by the settings in server.xml Hope it helps, Al G - Original Message - From: Mike Curwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:36 pm Subject: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical Yup, I've asked about/commented about this before.

RE: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical
Those books are making reference to getting the client's IP/hostname. And that would be controlled through the connector attribute 'enableLookups'. This is about getting the Server's hostname. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2004 4:48 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Virtual Hosts and useCanonical There is a setting somewhere in Tomcat (versions up to 4.1.X at least) where you enable/disable reverse DNS.
