Question

Hello I’m trying to get referral website and insert it into my database .

What I want is to get the referral site which called my “jsp page” before its posted into Servlet

For instance I have first.jsp which I reach from “www.example.com”

When I POST data from first into servlet I want to get the “www.example.com” but not “first.jsp”

When I do this in my servlet, I get “first.jsp”

request.getHeader("referer")

Answer 1

I figured out how to do it

in the jsp page I placed this code

<%  session.setAttribute("Referer",request.getHeader("Referer")); %> 

Now in java servlet I used this code

HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
String referrer = session.getAttribute("Referer").toString();
