Printing the requesturl?

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to print the request url in a jsp and I want to do that using EL instead of scriptlet. How can I do this?? Any thoughts on this!

${pageContext.request... } will get you access to the requset object.
From there you can add any property you like.

IE: to see the context path:
${pageContext.request.contextPath}

To see the other properties belonging to the request object, see:
http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpServletRequest.html

Ben, I tried this and it seems not to work!

Here is the jsp file,

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Welcome all!</title>
</head>
<body>
You have accessed this page using a .abc extension, so you are viewing this page
<%
String url = request.getRequestURI();
System.out.println(url);
%>
${pageContext.request.contextPath}
</body>
</html>

The one inside scriptlet seems to work but ${pageContext.request.contextPath} is not printing anything to the tomcat console???

Why would you expect any output on the console? This will emit the value to the response.
