The method you should use depends on how the request is forwarded to the JSP page. If the browser is redirected to the .jsp page then the page will not have access to the original request object that the servlet saw. It will have no access to any headers identifying the servlet. In this case the servlet must pass a parameter at the end of the URL which would tell the page who forwarded the request.
For example, the servlet might forward to: http://myserver.com/mypage.jsp?sourceservlet=myservlet This is easy to do but will require you to modify the servlet slightly. If the servlet passes the request object directly to the JSP page somehow, then the page could use the object to see the URL that the browser originally used to access the servlet using the HTTPServletRequest.getRequestURI() method. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 7:58 AM To: JRun-Talk Subject: get Servlet details in JSP hi I have a application designed in a way such that the JSP page is dispatched from the servlet. I want to make my application check in the JSP page as to where the request came from ie did the user type the jsp URL directly or did he come from the servlet. How do I check this. is there something called as HTTP Referer etc. I would not want to make changes in the servlet I dont mind writing a common JSP page and including it in all the JSP page. Any help is greatly appreciated.
