Getting name of jsp file from within the jsp page

[Doug Ahmann <da...@macromedia.com>]

What is the quick and dirty way of getting the name of the jsp page from
within the jsp page?

For instance, inside "login.jsp" I would like to determine if I'm within
"login.jsp".

FWIW, I'm trying to create a toolbar that automatically highlights the
"current" page. If there is a better way, other than hard-wiring it into the
page, let me know.

Thanks,
Doug

Maybe the request.getRequestURI() or request.getServletPath() can do that.
They will give you the entire path relative to the Context but you can
extract the filename only:

request.getRequestURI().substring(request.getRequestURI().lastIndexOf("/"))

..or a similar expression...
I might be wrong , i haven't tried that.
Alex.
