Can BIRT access the host name of the running TC Server? [message #754275]

Is there a way to verify the host name, as a String, of the application server instance running the BIRT Report?

For example, I'd like to compare
http://${client_request_host}:8080/Birt/frameset?__report=report.rptdesign

to

http://${tomcat_server_host}:8080/

If ${client_request_host} and ${tomcat_server_host} are not equal, I want to display an invalid request error message.

Thank you,
Paula

You can get the host running the report like:
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getServerName();

Not sure what you are comparing it to though.

Thanks for your response, Jason.

My report will be running in a web application. My end product will be a jar and a rptdesign to be included in the war.

So let me ask the question differently. Is there a way BIRT can access the server name of its parent web application?

For example:

http://www.example.com/BIRTReport/frameset?__report=myreport.rptdesign

The web application is BIRTReport. Is there a way to access "www.example.com" within my BIRT code? Either in the rptdesign or the event handlers? Ultimately I want to compare it to the "referer" cookie obtained from the client request.

Thanks.

In this case:
reportContext.getHttpServletRequest().getServerName();
should work fine. Have yo tried it?
