We plan to add the following API in ServletContext.
This can be used by other modules, like JASPIC, for the purpose of
configuration or registration.

/**
  * Returns the name of the logical host on the server.
  *
  * Servlet containers may use virtual hosting to support multiple
virtual hosts
  * sharing one IP address on a server.
  *
  * This method must return the same value for all the servlet contexts
of a virtual host,
  * and the value returned by this method must be distinct per virtual host.
  *
  * @return a <code>String</code> containing at the name of the virtual host
  * on which the servlet context is deployed.
  */
public String getVirtualHostName();

Please let me know if you have any concern.
Thanks.
