I am in process to capture Current URL as its being displayed in the browser's address bar in my JSP page and have few options to get it done.

Using javax.servlet.include.request_uri and other defined in Servlet 2.4 specification.I refer this thread to get details about it java-httpservletrequest-get-url-in-browsers-url-bar.

In my current application, we are going to put web-server in front of our application server as than it seems that those values will be of not any use.

I have another way to take help of javascript's document.URL but i am not sure how reliable it is going to be.

I need to get the details about the location of the user and if I can use getRequestURI(), it will return me something like www.abc.com/abc/search.jsp.

In short, all I want to capture the URL being there in the address bar of the browser and save it in a hidden field of my JSP page.

I am not sure what is the best way to achieve this.

If you want a javascript solution, you can use window.document.location object and its properties:

console.log(window.document.location.protocol);

http:

console.log(window.document.location.host);

stackoverflow.com

console.log(window.document.location.port);



console.log(window.document.location.href);
