RE: AW: AW: Multiple Databases within the same application

Tim,

The login domain and the db domain were tied together, until very recently. 
When you logged in, the domain picked from the list you get on the login
screen if you have multiple domains, is stored in the context and available
via the request.  If you don't have domains, the value in there is "default".  

So, if you login to the "default" domain, and you want to use your "default"
DB (which is the case for the vast majority of installations), then
req.getDomain() will still work.

Otherwise, you can a) hard-code the different db domain you want, b) make the
 DB domains be determined via configuration c) use the domain lookup service
just put in (extended/configured as appropriate).
