As an aside, this need is related to generating direct action URLs without a context or request (i.e. within a background thread.) Is it worthwhile to anyone beside me to have a directActionURLForActionNamed(...) method that doesn't depend on (ERX)WOContext? I keep running into this with threaded email generation, user-agent headers in a crawler, etc. When I get some time I may jump on it.
It should be easy to assemble:
"http://"; + WOHost property + WOCGIAdaptorUrl property + WOApplicationName property + ".woa/" + application.directActionRequestHandlerKey() + "/" + actionName
this has limitations ... if you have multiple incoming domains, you won't know at the time you generate this which domain you should hand back for a given user whereas the context would have the domain name they used to come into the site. this may or may not be a problem for you.

In my current scenario this isn't a problem but I have thought of it. I
believe I'd probably leave the implementation of host disambiguation to
the direct action itself. For example, generate a DA URL along the
lines of http://generichost.com/.../wa/doSomething?id=123456 and let it
figure out from the query string which host is in play. Possibly do a
redirect from there.
Otherwise you're stuck with some really spooky request mapping and
related storage unless you somehow coupled the DA generation routine to
your business logic and derived the host from the query dictionary.
Thanks for the help gents.
