I have a filter which processes requests in order to log them, so I can keep track of which session hit a page at what time with what request parameters. works great... posting from jsp to jsp, or making a direct call to a jsp. When a form is posted to a servlet which forwards that request to a new jsp, however, I am unable to see which jsp the request was forwarded to.
For example, suppose I have a login page, which posts to a LoginServlet, which then forwards the request to either index.jsp or index1.jsp. How can I determine from the request whether LoginServlet is returning index.jsp or index1.jsp?
This is in a java 1.5 environment using the 2.3 servlet specification.
public class PageLogFilter implements Filter {
FilterConfig filterConfig = null;
public void init(FilterConfig filterConfig) throws ServletException {
this.filterConfig = filterConfig;
}
public void destroy() {
this.filterConfig = null;
}
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
try {
if (request instanceof HttpServletRequest) {
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
//For non-forwards, I can call req.getRequestURI() to determine which
//page was returned. For forwards, it returns me the URI of the
//servlet which processed the post. I'd like to also get the URI
//of the jsp to which the request was forwarded by the servlet
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("-- ERROR IN PageLogFilter: " + e.getLocalizedMessage());
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
}
}
Call
request.getRequestURI()
afterchain.doFilter(..)
