Get server - URL

Hello,

I do following to obtain server URL like http://localhost:8080:

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
//Request URL
final String requestURL = request.getRequestURL().toString();
//Context path
final String requestcontextPath = request.getContextPath();
//Server - URL
this.serverUrl = requestURL.substring(0,
   requestURL.indexOf(requestcontextPath));‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But it looks like dirty hack (from servlet programming time).

Is there another way to get the same? (From subclass of BaseWizardBean)

As you are within a Faces app that is the way to do it, it's looks icky but that's because Faces tries to "hide" the underlying implementation which is why you need to jump through some annoying hoops.

Thanks,
