Kara,
The servlet (or other mechanism) that takes the user from some page to the
login page could make use of the user's session to cache this information
off. You can use the HttpRequest object to get the URL and parameters you
may need. You could then stuff these into a bean and put the bean into the
session. When the login page validates the member, it could then pull the
bean back out of the session, access the stored off URL, parameters, and use
these to reconstruct the original URL of the page and then redirect to that
page using the HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() method.
