Method Details
- isLocal
  
  public static boolean isLocal(String hostname)
  
  Returns true if this is a test run on a home PC. The list of such machines' host names is hard-coded inside this method. When such a machine is used, we can use the "localhost" URL in emails, since the emails will most likely be read in a web browser on the same machine, possibly even in off-line mode. This contrasts with production runs on a "real" web server, when the true hostname should always be used.
- determineHostname
  
  public static String determineHostname()
  
  Returns the host name this application is running on.
- atHome
  
  public static boolean atHome()
  
  Returns true if the application apparently runs on a home PC
