Question

I’m trying to get the server URL of a currently running appengine java app from code. That is, if the app is running on my local dev machine I would like to somehow get returned “http://localhost:8080” but if it is running in prod I’d like to be returned “http://myappid.appspot.com“. Are there any java or appengine API’s that can do this? I’d like to not have a to manually change and read from a config file or a constant.

Thanks.

You should be able to use getServerName():

boolean local = "localhost".equals(httpServletRequest.getServerName());

There are other methods you can also use if you need more info, e.g. getServerPort().
