request origin

[Srividya Shiv]

Hi all
I want to know the page(html/jsp) from which a request has originated. Is there any method to get this.
thanks
vidya

Is this what you are looking for?
StringBuffer page = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(HttpServletRequest request);
If your request is forwarded to different pages, on the first page issue this method call, attach it to the request object and forward it along with all the other request information. Then you can retrieve it on your last page.

Ihave a similar problem. My browser always shows only servlet names. It does not display intermediate jsp or html page names.
Is there a way of displaying the URL of the exact page that's currently executing everytime??
