Getting full path from an HTTP request

Question

I would like to know how can I get the full path of an HTTP request.

If a have a request like http://localhost:8080/path1/path2 how can I get the full /path1/path2?

Using request.getContextPath() returns only the /path1 section.

You need to use the getRequestURI() method:

The documentation describes it thus:

Returns the part of this request's URL from the protocol name up to the query string in the first line of the HTTP request.
