Get request URL in JSP which is forwarded by Servlet

Question

How can I get request URL in JSP which is forwarded by Servlet?

If I run following code in JSP,

System.out.println(\"servlet path= \" + request.getSe

Try this instead:

String scheme = req.getScheme();             
String serverName = req.getServerName(); 
int serverPort = req.getServerPort();    
String uri = (String) req.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.request_uri");
String prmstr = (String) req.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.query_string");
String url = scheme + "://" +serverName + ":" + serverPort + uri + "?" + prmstr;

Note: You can't get HREF anchor from your url. Example, if you have url "toc.html#top" then you can get only "toc.html"

Note: req.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.request_uri") work only in JSP. if you run this in controller before JSP then result is null

You can use code for both variant:

public static String getCurrentUrl(HttpServletRequest req) {
    String url = getCurrentUrlWithoutParams(req);
    String prmstr = getCurrentUrlParams(req);
    url += "?" + prmstr;
    return url;
}

public static String getCurrentUrlParams(HttpServletRequest request) {
    return StringUtil.safeString(request.getQueryString());
}

public static String getCurrentUrlWithoutParams(HttpServletRequest request) {
    String uri = (String) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.request_uri");
    if (uri == null) {
        return request.getRequestURL().toString();
    }
    String scheme = request.getScheme();
    String serverName = request.getServerName();
    int serverPort = request.getServerPort();
    String url = scheme + "://" + serverName + ":" + serverPort + uri;
    return url;
}
