I\'m trying to get a correct current URL in JSP in Spring webapp. I\'m trying to use the following fragment in the JSP file:
${pageContext.request.requestURL}
Which Spring version are you using? I have tested this with Spring 3.1.1.RELEASE, using the following simple application:
Folder structure

On accessing http://localhost:8080/spring-web/page/home.jsp, the URL is correctly displayed as http://localhost:8080/spring-web/page/home.jsp.
The best way would be to use EL like this:
${requestScope['javax.servlet.forward.request_uri']}
Maybe you are looking for something like:
<%= new UrlPathHelper().getOriginatingRequestUri(request) %>
This is not that elegant but solved my problem.
Try this:
<%@ page import="javax.servlet.http.HttpUtils.*" %>
<%= javax.servlet.http.HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request) %>
