Hi Georg,
You can get that info from the request-header 'Referer'. You can access
it from the external context like below
ExternalContext extCtx =
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
String refererHeader = extCtx.getRequestHeaderMap().get("Referer");
Thanks

Hallo Rene!
Thanks for your fast answer.
This does not seem to fit to my problem:
I tried to start my app from a static html-file. in this static
html-file I put a static link to my application like:
<a href="http://localhost/myapp/start.jsf";>start</a>
Then I examine the external context in a PhaseListener before the
RestoreView-Phase:
public void beforePhase(PhaseEvent event)
{
if(event.getPhaseId() == PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW)
{
ExternalContext extCtx =
event.getFacesContext().getExternalContext();
String callerUrl = extCtx.getRequestPathInfo(); //==
null
callerUrl = extCtx.getRequestServletPath(); // ==url of
the
actually called ressource ( inside my application)
callerUrl = extCtx.getRequestContextPath(); // ==
context Root of
my application
}
What I hoped to read is the URL of the static html-pagse from where I
clicked the link to my application.
Have You an idea how to get this information?
Thanks Georg

All the request information is contained in the ExternalContext which can
be accessed as: FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
It contains methods such as getRequestContextPath.

Subject: getting information about caller-url
hallo,
when starting my application I have to distinguish between the
different sites from where the user can call the application.
Theese urls are outside application.
Can somebody give me a hint how i can read the url from where the
user is calling?
Thanks Georg
