Getting full url for new url creation

Question

Im creating an email and the email has a url link in it. I want to get the whole url and context so I can redirect the user to where I wish. Right now my code looks like this

String baseURL = request.getScheme() + "://" + request.getServerName()
            + request.getContextPath().concat(content);

is there a way to simplify this and get the same info?

Answer 1

I guess you mean something like this:

• getRequestURL() - url without get-parameters

• getQueryString() - get-parameters

  @Override
  public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res) 
  throws ServletException, IOException {
     ((HttpServletRequest)req).getRequestURL();
     ((HttpServletRequest)req).getQueryString();
  }
