ServletRequest get name of actual page

Question

I am using a Filter and the doFilter-Function. I would like to know which site is being requested. Some function giving me something like /firstDirectoryInWebDirectory/lala.jsp would be perfect.

What is the way to go here? Using the context will be the right way, but I can't find any good method :-(

Thanks

Solution

request.getRequestURI() should return the part of the URL after the domain.

From there, you can strip the request.getContextPath()

(You'd have to cast the ServletRequest to HttpServletRequest first)

perfect. I didn't think about casting. Casting always hurts my soul. But that ways it works. Quite ugly :-)

You will have to get used to casting in servlet filters. Btw, if the answer works for you, you can mark it as accepted (tick below the vote counter)

Still had to wait 4 min to tick it :-)
