Hello all,
May I ask a question?
I have a servlet named "FormDispatcher" which I include from a JSP like
this:
<jsp:include page="servlet/FormDispatcher/abc/def"/>
What I *want* is for the FormDispatcher servlet to be able to access the
"/abc/def" path info by calling "request.getPathInfo()".
When the servlet calls "request.getPathInfo()", however, the method returns
the path info for the JSP which contains the <jsp:include> element shown
above, not "/abc/def". I understand why this is and it makes perfect sense
to me. *BUT*, I'm hoping there is a way, somehow, for me to gain access to
the "/abc/def" path info.
[...]
In an resource (servlet or JSP page) included through the
RequestDispatcher (which is what <jsp:include> uses internally), the
URI info used to identify the included resource is available as a
set of request attributes:
javax.servlet.include.request_uri
javax.servlet.include.context_path
javax.servlet.include.servlet_path
javax.servlet.include.path_info
javax.servlet.include.query_string
(see the Servlet 2.3 spec, section SRV.8.3.1 Included Request
Parameters, for details). So you can get the path info with a call
like this:
String pathInfo =
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.include.path_info");
