Root URl of the servlet

by

You do realize that the URL client sees (and/or types into his browser) and the URL served by the container your servlet is deployed on can be very different?

In order to get the latter, though, you have a few methods available on HttpServletRequest:

  • You can either call getScheme(), getServerName(), getServerPort() and getContextPath() and combine them using appropriate separators
  • OR you can call getRequestURL() and remove getServletPath() and getPathInfo() from it.
