Which Spring version are you using? I have tested this with Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE, using the following simple application:

Folder structure
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

spring-web
    |
     --- src
          |
           --- main
                 |
                  --- webapp
                         |
                          --- page
                         |     |
                         |      --- home.jsp
                         |
                          --- WEB-INF
                               |
                                --- web.xml
                               |
                                --- applicationContext.xml

home.jsp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------




    
        
    
    
        Page URL: ${pageContext.request.requestURL}
    


web.xml
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------




org.example.web


    spring-mvc-dispatcher
    org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
    
        contextConfigLocation
        /WEB-INF/webContext.xml
    
    1



    spring-mvc-dispatcher
    *.htm



applicationContext.xml
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------









    
    

On accessing http://localhost:8080/spring-web/page/home.jsp, the URL is correctly displayed as http://localhost:8080/spring-web/page/home.jsp.
