JSF: Get current page programmatically

Question

In a JSF backing bean (Managed Bean, Weld Bean, doesn't matter), i can get the context path the client is on by calling

FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
String path = ctx.getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();

This gives me the path the client currently accesses, like /myapplication. Is it also possible to get the current page, like /home.faces, and how?

Answer 1

Ok, got it, it's

FacesContext ctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
HttpServletRequest servletRequest = (HttpServletRequest) ctx.getExternalContext().getRequest();
// returns something like "/myapplication/home.faces"
String fullURI = servletRequest.getRequestURI();

Answer 2

You normally want to use UIViewRoot#getViewId() for this.

String viewId = facesContext.getViewRoot().getViewId();
