Method Detail

getWebAppContext

String getWebAppContext()
                        throws ServiceException,
                               com.gwtincubator.security.exception.ApplicationSecurityException

Retrieve the current web application context (if any) in use for this admin application. When a web app context is in use, it appears as the first part of the url. For example, in the url http://localhost:8080/broadleafdemo/admin, the web app context is 'broadleafdemo'. Null may be returned if there is no app context.

Returns:

The first part of the app url that constitutes the web application context (if any).

Throws:

                                        com.gwtincubator.security.exception.ApplicationSecurityException

Retrieve the current web url prefix (if any) for the actual store front associated with this admin instance. This value is used by the admin to enable preview features for images and the like that are hosted in the store application. For example, if the admin application is located at http://localhost:8080/admin/admin.html: 1) If the store is located at http://localhost:8080/mystore - The store front web app prefix could be /mystore, since it's located on the same server as the admin 2) If the store is located at http://anotherserver:8080/mystore - The store front web app prefix would be http://anotherserver:8080/mystore, since it's located on another server and the full url is required. This value may be null if the admin app and the store front app are the same.

Returns:

The first part of the storefront url that constitutes the web application context (if any)
