And what if there was no request since the start but the watch list must fire?
To me relying on a first request is really dangerous, also there are cases 
where ProxyPreserveHost is not accessible (I had the case of having just 
mod_rewrite and no mod_proxy‎).

A hard solution is to install a URL factory that is absolute (i've published 
one here, it has too many things but has worked for me), another is to change 
de tomcat config if available.

Objet: Re: [xwiki-users] Watchlist email links use localhost instead of server 
hostname


If I remember correctly, XWiki uses the first incoming request to store the 
information by which hostname it is called, and uses this information in the 
background thread that sends the watchlist mails.

a) If you are sure that everyone accesses your wiki through the actual host 
name, you should be able to fix the problem by restarting the wiki
b) If that does not help: check if you have a proxy in front of XWiki; maybe 
that proxy does not pass through the "host" header from the browser
(e.g apache httpd needs a "ProxyPreserveHost On" in its configuration to do so.)
c) Finally if you want to enfore the usage of a host name, and you can add 
something like

wget --retry-connrefused --tries=100 --header 'Host: jabba.jabba.hey' 
http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/view/Main/

to your start script to make sure XWiki uses a certain domain for the watchlist 
mails

HTH,
Clemens
