At the start of my HttpServlet class code:
request.getServletPath() = "/myServlet"
But then my HttpServlet code runs a MVC pattern and decides to forward
off to a JSP page "/someDir/myPage.jsp" so inside any tag's inside that
JSP page now get:
request.getServletPath() = "/someDir/myPage.jsp"
Which is just plain wrong. Can anyone confirm if this correct behaviour ?
It seems pretty ludicrious that the request object is meant to be
associated with the original request, so I would expect it to remain
constant (unless my app overides it), like how we got here is pretty
important stuff throughout the whole lifetime of a request.
The forwarding methodology JSP uses seems to be more related to the
response part, as-in the path "/someDir/myPage.jsp" is a forwarding
action that is being carried out in the response part.
To work around this sillyness:
I have added code into my HttpServlet like
'request.setAttribute("getHttpRequestPath", request.getServletPath())'
so that the original HttpRequest information can be preserved throughout
the whole request lifecycle.
