What’s the best way to get the current URL in Spring MVC?

by

Well there are two methods to access this data easier, but the interface doesn’t offer the possibility to get the whole URL with one call. You have to build it manually:

public static String makeUrl(HttpServletRequest request)
{
    return request.getRequestURL().toString() + "?" + request.getQueryString();
}

I don’t know about a way to do this with any Spring MVC facilities.

If you want to access the current Request without passing it everywhere you will have to add a listener in the web.xml:

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>

And then use this to get the request bound to the current Thread:

((ServletRequestAttributes) RequestContextHolder.currentRequestAttributes()).getRequest()
