Find current host name using Java

Question

I am running currently on Oracle 9i app server in a clustered environment. My application has business logic that needs current host name. How can I find out the host name without externalising(like properties file) the information. Is there a java api like
.getHostName()

try this:
import java.net.InetAddress;
public class Foo {
    public static String getLocalhostName() {
        String hostName = "";
     try {
         InetAddress address =
          InetAddress.getLocalHost();
            hostName = address.getHostName();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // error handle any which way you like
            e.printStackTrace (System.err);
        return hostName;
}cheers,
