Generally, there isn't a single hostname for a listener, especially when
the listener is listening on 0.0.0.0. In this case, the listener is
listening to all IP addresses. Typically this will be the primary IP
address for the system, plus 127.0.0.1. If on a multihomed server, it
will be listening on other IP address too. Each IP address may have
several names, depending on what is in DNS or the /etc/hosts file.
The com.sun.enterprise.util.net.NetUtils class (common/common-util
module) has some methods that might be useful in solving this problem,
or at least it has code that deals with multiple addresses and names.
Maybe a new method could be added there for solving this problem.
