public java.lang.StringBuffer getRequestURL()

Reconstructs the URL the client used to make the request. The returned URL contains a protocol, server name, port number, and server path, but it does not include query string parameters.

Because this method returns a StringBuffer, not a string, you can modify the URL easily, for example, to append query parameters.

This method is useful for creating redirect messages and for reporting errors.

Returns:

a StringBuffer object containing the reconstructed URL

getServletPath

public java.lang.String getServletPath()

Returns the part of this request's URL that calls the servlet. This includes either the servlet name or a path to the servlet, but does not include any extra path information or a query string. Same as the value of the CGI variable SCRIPT_NAME.

If create is false and the request has no valid HttpSession, this method returns null.

To make sure the session is properly maintained, you must call this method before the response is committed. If the container is using cookies to maintain session integrity and is asked to create a new session when the response is committed, an IllegalStateException is thrown.

Returns:

the HttpSession associated with this request or null if create is false and the request has no valid session

See Also:

getSession()

getSession

public HttpSession getSession()

See Also:

getSession(boolean)

isRequestedSessionIdFromURL

public boolean isRequestedSessionIdFromURL()

Checks whether the requested session ID came in as part of the request URL.

Returns:

true if the session ID came in as part of a URL; otherwise, false

See Also:

getSession(boolean)

isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl

public boolean isRequestedSessionIdFromUrl()

Deprecated. As of Version 2.1 of the Java Servlet API, use isRequestedSessionIdFromURL() instead.

getAttribute

public java.lang.Object getAttribute(java.lang.String name)

Returns the value of the named attribute as an Object, or null if no attribute of the given name exists.

Attributes can be set two ways. The servlet container may set attributes to make available custom information about a request. For example, for requests made using HTTPS, the attribute javax.servlet.request.X509Certificate can be used to retrieve information on the certificate of the client. Attributes can also be set programatically using ServletRequest#setAttribute. This allows information to be embedded into a request before a RequestDispatcher call.

Attribute names should follow the same conventions as package names. This specification reserves names matching java.*, javax.*, and sun.*.

name - a String specifying the name of the attribute

Returns:

an Object containing the value of the attribute, or null if the attribute does not exist
