Actually there's a more direct method in
javax.servlet.ServletContext.getServerInfo().
Check it out:

t.html
Hope this helps.

Your classes will not know where they are being run..
You have to pass some kind of context in to them..
I normally use a ref to the servlet through the constructor
eg..
public class MyExample {
private HttpServlet context;
public MyExample(HttpServlet context) {
this.context = context;
}
public void doSomething() {
String name = context.getServletName();
}
}
........
In the servlet
MyExample eg = new MyExample(this);
