Get current URL in Webapplication
Solution 1
If you want a javascript solution, you can use window.document.location object and its properties:
console.log(window.document.location.protocol);
http:
console.log(window.document.location.host);
stackoverflow.com
console.log(window.document.location.port);
console.log(window.document.location.href);

You can understand other parameters reading this article at MDN.
Solution 2
In Java, you can do this:
public static String getCurrentUrl(HttpServletRequest request){
URL url = new URL(request.getRequestURL().toString())
String host = url.getHost();
String userInfo = url.getUserInfo();
String scheme = url.getProtocol();
String port = url.getPort();
String path = request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.request_uri");
String query = request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.query_string");
URI uri = new URI(scheme,userInfo,host,port,path,query,null)
return uri.toString();
}
Solution 3
You can create a hidden field in your form
<input type="hidden" id="myurl" name="myurl"/>
then write a javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById('myurl').value = window.location.href
</script>
is that help?

I am in process to capture Current URL as its being displayed in the browser's address bar in my JSP page and have few options to get it done.
- Using
javax.servlet.include.request_uri
and other defined in Servlet 2.4 specification.I refer this thread to get details about it java-httpservletrequest-get-url-in-browsers-url-bar.
In my current application, we are going to put web-server in front of our application server as than it seems that those values will be of not any use.
I have another way to take help of javascript's
document.URL
but i am not sure how reliable it is going to be.I need to get the details about the location of the user and if I can use
getRequestURI()
, it will return me something likewww.abc.com/abc/search.jsp
.In short, all I want to capture the URL being there in the address bar of the browser and save it in a hidden field of my JSP page.
I am not sure what is the best way to achieve this.
