What is the quick and easiest way to get the domain name in JSP?
I need the domain name when I login into my jsp application. I need the domain name of my local network but I don't want to hard code it.

Then you'll need to clarify what you mean by "domain name". The name returned by getServerName() is the name which was looked up via DNS (which is the "domain name service") by the client. If you want only the domain part of it, the following code will work: int index = serverName.indexOf('.'); if (index == -1) domainName = null; else domainName = serverName.substring(index + 1); Is that what you want?

Oh, you want the name of the client. In that case, try request.getRemoteHost() instead. -- www.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone... Anywhere. Chris Smith - Lead Software Developer/Technical Trainer MindIQ Corporation
What I'm looking for is the actually name of the domain where a user logs onto their network. For example when you log onto your machine at work if it is on a windows environment you have a User Name:, Password: and Log on to: fields to input. I want to know what is the value that a user inputs for the Log on to: field, which should be the domain of the network. I need this value for a authentication process.
Oh, that's completely different then. You want to know the Windows NT network domain. Unfortunately, I don't know how you can find this out. You're more likely to have luck hiding your servlets behind IIS, which is designed more for these kinds of Microsoft-specific networks than the core servlet API. -- www.designacourse.com The Easiest Way to Train Anyone...
