There is no problem to obtain the host and port # while in the doPost()
or doGet() method - I just use request.getServerName() and
Request.getServerPort().
My problem is that I need these infos while in the init() method, before
any doGet() or doPost() is called.
Any idea of how to have the host name and port # while still in the
init() method??
