problems with request.getRequestURL() after migrating to Tomcat 5.5

[Otmar Manuela <ot...@caribmedia.com>]

Hi,

I know this was asked a while ago in this mailing list, but I couldn't 
find the answer.  My problem is that I want a generic way to get the 
client URL in my action class.  In Tomcat 5.0, I was able to do so by 
calling request.getRequestURL(), but apparently I was just lucky, 
because it wasn't supposed to work this way and now that they have fixed 
it in Tomcat 5.5, my application breaks.  I see some people solved this 
by using mapping.getPath(), but this doesn't work well with tiles, 
because it returns the action url of the tile and not the url of the 
client request.

So far I know how to get the scheme, host, context path, and query 
string, but I'm missing the path, which mapping.getPath() provides if 
you're not using tiles.

Anyone knows how to get this to work without having to use 
request.getRequestURL()?

Thanks,

In Resin (and I think the spec), request.getRequestURL() should give you
back the URL (minus the query arguments) that was used.  You can build the
query String using request.getParameterNames() & getParameterValues() and
rebuild it yourself, but since HttpUtils.getRequestURL has been deprecated,
I think that's the only choice.
