Method Detail

• getLocalHostname

  public static String getLocalHostname()

  Get the string defining the hostname of the system, as taken from the default network adapter of the system. There is no guarantee that this will be fully qualified, or that it is the hostname used by external machines to access the server. If we cannot determine the name, then we return the default hostname, which is defined by LOCALHOST

  Returns:

  a string name of the host.
