getAuthDomain() in GWT is always returning gmail.com

Question

I'm writing an application with Google Web Toolkit and am trying to figure out the Google Apps domain of the user currently logged in.

public LoginInfo login(String requestUri) {
    UserService userService = UserServiceFactory.getUserService();
    User user = userService.getCurrentUser();
    LoginInfo loginInfo = new LoginInfo();

    if (user != null) {
        loginInfo.setLoggedIn(true);
        loginInfo.setEmailAddress(user.getEmail());
        loginInfo.setNickname(user.getNickname());
        loginInfo.setAuthDomain(user.getAuthDomain());
        loginInfo.setLogoutUrl(userService.createLogoutURL(requestUri));
        loginInfo.setIsAdmin(userService.isUserAdmin());
    } else {
        loginInfo.setLoggedIn(false);
        loginInfo.setLoginUrl(userService.createLoginURL(requestUri));
    }
    return loginInfo;
}

But user.getAuthDomain() is always returning "gmail.com".

which should be correct for non-google-apps-users. But it also returns gmail.com when I log in with my google apps account.

Any ideas why? Or is there an other method to get the users current domain?

Answer 1

I would use GWT.getHostPageBaseUrl() to access the host page's base URL, and parse the domain name from that.
