How can I get actual url containing parameters without .do pattern

Hi guys,

I have a struts web application where users are going to be emailing their friends pages they like. For example, a user reads an artice and clicks on an "Email To Friends" button.

I want my application to email the url with parameters to the recipient's email address. However, when I invoke "reques.getRequestURL()" to get the url, this is how ths URL looks like: www.whatever.com/article/emailToFriend.do

If the end user clicks on this URL, they would not be taken to that unique article page.

How can I extract the ACTUAL URL containing the parameters? Example:
www.whatever.com/article/emailToFriend.do?articleID=93907...

For security reasons, this is how I configured struts in web.xml:

<servlet>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>

As you mention in the above message, Example :

www.whatever.com/article/emailToFriend.do?articleID=93907...

You know very well that param name 'articleID' you can get is as requesr.getParameter("articleID"); Note this is Object class.. change accordingly. or use request.getQueryString();
