Getting the web application name dynamically

brombie Feb 6, 2008 1:20 PM

I'm not sure if this is a JSF or Seam question, but does anyone know how I can get my web application name dynamically in my xhtml files?

For example, I have myapp.war deployed in JBoss and I can access it through http://localhost:8080/myapp/home.seam.

How do I get the string "myapp" dynamically within my templates?

Thank you!

Add a factory to your components.xml file:
<factory name="contextPath" auto-create="true" value="#{facesContext.externalContext.request.contextPath}"/>

Reference it as such:
#{contextPath}
