Get IP address of form runner with xform command

This post was updated on .

Hi,

I am running orbeon PE 4.2 and using Liferay form runner portlet.

In the code of my forms I have a button that make a submission to a page in the same tomcat where orbeon is deployed.

<xf:submission id="sendToPage1" action="http://localhost:8080/web/guest/dashboard"
method="get"/>

I would like to replace localhost with the IP address of the machine orbeon is currently running. How can I get it?

thank you

It's quite urgent to have an answer.

Please, no one has idea how to get IP address of the machine where orbeon is running?

Hi,

There may be simpler way ... the best idea I have is the java processor.

You can write your own processor (you don't need to compile it
into/with Orbeon, and
it could call the Java Servlet API function getLocalAddr(). Sorry, I
don't have any
code that tries this,

Here is an example that works for me:

https://gist.github.com/ebruchez/6418393

(Note that there is no guarantee that this will remain compatible,
because that's using internal classes.)

Out of curiosity, why would using localhost (or another local name)
not work? In general, that is preferred, isn't it?

Mmh, actually that is wrong. That's returning the remote address, and
you want the local address.

If you manage to do this with Java, you should be able to call the
same Java code from XPath in a way similar to the one I show in my
example.

But, it doesn't look like it's that easy:

Because connecting to my machine from another machine in our local network and clicking close causes going to the correct page but Liferay loses logged in user. Is this because I am running e development licence and not a production licence?

If I indicate the IP address of my machine in the form code for the close button Liferay does not log out. I f I indicate localhost, it logs out.

So if I have various forms on a machine I need to change the code of the forms if I have to change the machine where orbeon forms and liferay are installed.

I see, thanks for the explanation.

Bottom line of my explanation was: if you have a piece of Java code
able to get the correct local IP, then you can fairly easily call that
from XForms with XPath.
