arjan tijms commented on JASPIC_SPEC-1:
---------------------------------------
I just read that the MR document at
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/maintenance/jsr196/standard_appContextID_generation.pdf
Mentions the following:
{quote}
A Servlet container that implements a version of the Servlet specification that defines the {{getVirtualServerName}} method on the {{ServletContext}} interface, must construct its application context identifiers using a value for hostname that is equivalent to the value returned by calling {{getVirtualServerName}} on the {{ServletContext}} corresponding to the web application.
{quote}
I couldn't however find a method called {{getVirtualServerName}} on {{ServletContext}}. I checked {{javax.servlet-api-3.1-pdr-javadoc}}, but it doesn't seem to be there. Is this a method planned for the future?

> Assignee: monzillo
>
> During programmatic AuthConfigProvider registration - especially
> self-registration via
> AuthConfigFactory.registerConfigProvider(AuthConfigProvider provider,
> String layer,
> String appContextID,
> String description);
> the AuthConfigProvider has no portable way to determine the name of the virtual
> host, and thus to register using the same virtual host name that will be used
> by the runtime in its call to
> AuthConfigFactory.getConfigProvider(String layer, String appContextID,
> RegistrationListener listener);
> Servlet 3.1 does not intend to provide a portable api by which the name of the
> virtual host can be obtained.
