a multi-tenant Seam application. (or a custom stylesheet per external domain)

have multiple external domain's pointing to the same seam app but want to have a custom CSS or template depending on the current external domain being used by the user?

the assumption is you have an apache in front doeing some url rewriting that passes an x-forwarded-host param.

create a custom stylesheet per external host, i.e. if you have www.host1.com and www.host2.be as external host names, create the files www.host1.com.css and www.host2.be.css.

add this to your template

<link href="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/#{configuration.serverName}.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

and add the following component

@Name("configuration")
@Scope(ScopeType.APPLICATION)
@Startup
public class Configuration implements Serializable {

	@In
	protected FacesMessages facesMessages;

	@Logger
	Log log;

	public Map<String, String> getHeaderMap() {
		return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestHeaderMap();
	}

	public String getServerName() {
		return getServerAddress().split(":")[0];
	}

	public String getServerAddress() {

		final String proxy = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestHeaderMap().get("x-forwarded-host");
		if (LangUtil.isEmpty(proxy)) {
			final HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
			final String local = request.getLocalAddr() + ":" + request.getLocalPort();
			log.info("return local server: " + local);
			return local;
		} else {
			log.info("return proxy server: " + proxy);
			return proxy;
		}
	}

}
