How to get path at browser in jsp

Question

Hi,

May be this is the basic Question. But i am not able to understand how to get it. My browser url is http://testweb/edit.htm'. testweb is context path. This uri is from Spring. I need to get edit.htm which is after context, in my jsp. How to get this. Thank you for the support

Thanks, Santha/

The HttpServletRequest offers several methods to access (parts of) the request URL, under each the HttpServletRequest#getRequestURI() and #getServletPath().

That said, this job should be done in a Filter or maybe a Servlet rather than a JSP file.

Update: you seem to be using Spring and rather be interested in the request URI which called the forwarded JSP. You can get it as request attribute with the key RequestDispatcher#FORWARD_REQUEST_URI as follows:

String uri = request.getAttribute(RequestDispatcher.FORWARD_REQUEST_URI);

or in JSP EL as follows:

${requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.request_uri']}
