url of caller?
Is it possible to determine the url of the webpage
from which a particular servlet was called please?
I.e. the target of a 'back' action on the browser?
public java.lang.String getRequestURI() is the 'current'
page, I need the calling page.
Regards DaveP.

DaveP,
You could use the 'referer' header, eg.
String referedURL = request.getHeader("referer");
Note that the String is null if the header isn't present which usually
indicates that the user typed the URL in their browser.
Hope this helps!

Worth mentioning this as I have been down this path.........
Symantec Intenet Security products and the like, will remove this header. I
actually contemplated writing to Symantec about this only this morning (I
think I have too much time on my hands).

(Search for Referrer)
