Get path of alias in HTTP Provider of VA

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have defined an alias name for a directory path in the server using the HTTP Provider->alias in Visual Administrator. From the web dynpro (java) application, I have to get the path by giving only the alias name. Can anyone help with the code snippet for this? Also tell how to get the IP/hostname and port of the server through coding.

srinivasan,

You can get the HostName using the following code snippet:

InetAddress iNetAdd = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
String hostName = iNetAdd.getHostAddress();

Use

WDURLGenerator.getAbsoluteWebResourceURL(deployableObjectPart);

to get the complete URI of the application and then you just extract the "port" number from it.

Hi,

Thanks. But using that I can get only the hostname/port. The important one is that I want to get from the HTTP Provider of Visual Admn the path, by using the 'alias' for the path in the code.
