How to get correct current URL in JSP in Spring webapp

Question

I'm trying to get a correct current URL in JSP in Spring webapp. I'm trying to use the following fragment in the JSP file:

${pageContext.request.requestURL} 

The issue is that the returned URL contains prefix and suffix defined by UrlBasedViewResolver. For example the correct URL is:

http://localhost:8080/page

But the returned one is:

http://localhost:8080/WEB-INF/jsp/page.jsp

Answer 1

The best way would be to use EL like this:

${requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.request_uri']} 

Answer 2

Maybe you are looking for something like:

<%= new UrlPathHelper().getOriginatingRequestUri(request) %> 

This is not that elegant but solved my problem.
