How can I get the domain name of the application from within a cometActor

[Jonathan Ferguson]

I can not see any way to do this.

Is it best to get it via some other means ( snippet and S object and
SessionParam).


Cheers

S.request

I'd be surprised if S.request worked within a CometActor.  CometActors are outside the scope of an HTTP request.  Your best bet is to set the host for a session in a SessionVar and then access that SessionVar from your CometActor)

I set it as a value when the comet actor starts up. Seems to be working so far :|  Otherwise you are correct.

Your way is looking better, thank you.

Alternatively, you can call (it's on LiftSession):

  /**
   * This method will send a message to a CometActor, whether or not
   * the CometActor is instantiated.  If the CometActor already exists
   * in the session, the message will be sent immediately.  If the CometActor
   * is not yet instantiated, the message will be sent to the CometActor
   * as part of setup (@see setupComet) if it is created as part
   * of the current HTTP request/response cycle.
   *
   * @param theType the type of the CometActor
   * @param name the optional name of the CometActor
   * @param msg the message to send to the CometActor
   */
  def sendCometActorMessage(theType: String, name: Box[String], msg: Any) {

This will send the CometActor a message... you can send anything you want including the domain name.
