getServerName returns 'localhost'
Gentlemen, I have the application which could be accessed from different domain addresses and I need to know from what domain request was sent. I try to get following from request: getRemoteHost: 127.0.0.1 getServerName: localhost I use tomcat 5.5 and I suppose i should configure something to get correct domain name. Can anyone help me?? Any help will be apreciated.

Re: getServerName returns 'localhost'
Did you do something like this in server.xml? Engine defaultHost=localhost Host name=localhost / /Engine And your client goes to www.example.com, but you getServerName() returns localhost in stead of www.example.com? Ronald.

The OP is asking a different question: What hostname did the client send this request to? I'd parse the host header in the request to find out, but that's just me! You are right, I am off-base here, apologies. String hostname = request.getHeader(Host) should work. But then, the question is, according to the OP, request.getServerName() returns localhost, although that is very unlikely to have been used by the client in the Host header. However, the java API says : ServletRequest.getServerName public java.lang.String getServerName() Returns the host name of the server to which the request was sent. It is the value of the part before : in the Host header value, if any, or the resolved server name, or the server IP address. Returns: a String containing the name of the server That does not seem to work in his case. Does it only work when the Host or Alias tags with the corresponding names are set ?

Re: getServerName returns 'localhost'
1. What, exactly, version of 5.5.x is used. 2. Is Tomcat running standalone, or is behind Apache HTTPD, IIS or other web server, or a load balancer 3. What connectors are configured in server.xml? What connectors (protocols) are mentioned in catalina.log at startup time. E.g.: 03.02.2010 12:10:01 org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11BaseProtocol init 4. Whether Tomcat-Native (tcnative-1.dll, tcnative-1.so) is used? 5. Operating system. 6.

Re: getServerName returns 'localhost'
Hello Ivan, The headers x-forwarded-for, x-forwarded-host and x-forwarded-server are typically added by Apache Httpd mod_proxy (1). It seems that you use Apache Httpd mod_proxy in front of your Tomcat, both located on the same server (this is the reason why get localhost). Your solution may be to look at the ProxyPreserveHost On directive in Apache configuration (2). If you use It would look like : ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass /mypath http://localhost:8080/mypath Hope this helps, Cyrille -- Cyrille Le Clerc clecl...@xebia.fr http://blog.xebia.fr (1) see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#x-headers (2) see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html#proxypreservehost On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 5:09 PM, vgud ivan.gudi...@yahoo.com wrote: I tried to log all request headers and notice three interesting headers: x-forwarded-for : 10.0.0.24 x-forwarded-host : myRealDomain.com x-forwarded-server : my.server.ip.address So, tomcat(or someone else) does some forwarding and attach those headers on request?
