Hassan, I couldn't seem to get request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path") to work in my situation (it returns null, maybe because its being called from a custom tag?), but Stefan's suggestion of request.getServletPath() accomplishes just what I need.

TSSIYF -- The Servlet Spec is your friend :-) SRV.8.4.2 Forwarded Request Parameters Except for servlets obtained by using the getNamedDispatcher method, a servlet that has been invoked by another servlet using the forward method of RequestDispatcher has access to the path of the original request. The following request attributes must be set: javax.servlet.forward.request_uri javax.servlet.forward.context_path javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path javax.servlet.forward.path_info javax.servlet.forward.query_string HTH! -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
