Ken,

You will need to look at the CGI variables.  There is a variable called
SCRIPT_NAME.  You can access it by using request.getServletPath().  Do this
before you forward to the login page.  You can pass this as a parameter in
the querystring or set a session variable or some other method that you
think of.

Hope this helps.

Tosh

Subject: [pro_jsp] JSP Forward & Return


I'm attempting to design an automated JSP forward-and-return feature.  For 
example, if a user browses to a page that requires a login, the page would 
automatically forward to a login page.  When login completed successfully, 
the login page would forward to the original page.  

I already have a forwarding mechanism that works nicely.  It would also 
serve this purpose if I could obtain the current URL before forwarding to 
the login page.

My question is, how can one obtain the current URL using JSP?  I know how 
to do it with JavaScript, but I'd like to use a pure JSP approach if 
possible.  

Any ideas are appreciated.
