Yep,
<%
String requestURI = request.getRequestURI();
%>
or, if you only want to display it:
<%= request.getRequestURI() %>
This will give you back the part of the request after the
http://www.mycompany.com:port part, which is all you usually need. There's a
utility method in HttpUtils to reconstruct the entire URL (including any query
string) if you want that instead.
Because your JSP page is a servlet, it can use the entire servlet API. A place
where this is particularly important, for example, is encoding URL hyperlinks so
that session management works even if the client browser has cookies turned off:
<a href="<%= response.encodeURL("menu.jsp")>">Main Menu</a>
