i know in PHP, there's a static constant called PHP_SELF which stores the current URL. is there an equivalent of this for JSP?

thank you

Hi! Shawn:

JSP on compilation generates a servlet thus the request, response objects are readily available.
The following scriptlet (Java code) should give you what you need

<%= request.getRequestURI() %>

This will print the URI to the browser. If you want to store it in a variable use the following

<% String myURI = request.getRequestURI(); %>

If you need the value as a URL you will need to use the following

<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpUtils.*" %>
<%= javax.servlet.http.HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request) %>

in the JSP.

Pradeep.

you can getRequestURI() and getRequestURL() functions. See Servlet request for more details about the request methods
