It wouldn't be too hard to add a host parameter to the @UrlBinding
annotation. That would make more sense to me than trying to get it into
the value parameter. Then we don't have to worry about breaking any
existing code.

That's correct. Although in one instance I also need to differentiate
between the 'www' subdomain (main websites homepage) and the user subdomains
(users custom homepages). Thus forwarding "/" to two different actionBeans.
Not sure, if something like that could also be handled by a reverse proxy
though.
Why not just grab the 'Host' header from the request? Browsers are
pretty good at conforming to HTTP/1.1 these days.
I've tested that approach and that seems to work just fine:
@DefaultHandler
public Resolution viewForm() {
String domain = getContext().getRequest().getLocalName();
String subDomain = domain.substring(0, domain.indexOf('.'));
if ( subDomain.toLowerCase().equals("www")) {
return new ForwardResolution(HomepageAction.class); // goto
regular homepage
} else {
return new ForwardResolution(UserAction.class); // goto
subdomain homepage
}
I don't think it really belongs in the UrlBinding, but it would be
pretty trivial to extend the dispatcher to set a property from the
Host, based on some annotation. Actually, some generic way to declare
request headers to bind (and validate) would be kinda nice.
I agree, but what about the code that generates URL's in Stripes: is that
only the UrlBuilder class? Or does URL generation in Stripes depend also on
other classes? If not, what would be the best way to intergrate you're own
custom UrlBuilder class?
