Server awareness in Java Scheduler job - or - Where Am I?

Question

What's the best way for me to make the Java Scheduler tell me what server it is running on? My application logic requires this information to create valid links in E-mail messages. The environment changes, of course, as my application navigates from development to test to production, so obviously hard coding is not an option. I don't like the way I am doing it now, passing it from NWA Java Scheduler as a text string job parameter. Requiring the portal system administrator in each environment to type the server path when they schedule the job doesn't seem like a very elegant solution.
Any better ideas?

hi jennifer,
the km api offers an url-service: http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW73/SPS05/KMC/com/sapportals/wcm/service/urlgenerator/IURLGeneratorService.html
i hope with this you will find a solution.
   try
  IURLGeneratorService ug = (IURLGeneratorService)ResourceFactory.getInstance().getServiceFactory().getService(IServiceTypesConst.URLGENERATOR_SERVICE);
  IHierarchicalUri hierarchical_uri = ug.getAbsoluteUri(PathKey.CONTENT_ACCESS_PATH);
  //externalForm contains <protocol>://<host>:<port>
  String externalForm = hierarchical_uri.getRoot().toExternalForm();
  URI uri = URI.create(externalForm);
  String protocol = uri.getScheme();
  String host = uri.getHost();
  int port = uri.getPort();
} catch (ResourceException e) {
  //some exception handling
} catch (WcmException e) {
  //some exception handling
} catch (Exception e){
  //some exception handling
