Method Detail

calculateUrlBase

public static String calculateUrlBase(javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)

Return a string that represents the fully qualified URL for our servlet context, suitable for use in the HTML base tag.

As an example, suppose your host was www.mycompany.com, you are serving from port 80, and your web application name was "opennms," then this method would return: http://www.mycompany.com:80/opennms/

If this guess is wrong, you can override it by setting the property opennms.web.base-url in opennms.properties (for embedded Jetty).

Parameters:

request - the servlet request you are servicing

Returns:

a String object.

substituteUrl

Parameters:

request - a HttpServletRequest object.
