How to get url path from jsp in Spring MVC framework

Question

To remove the language toggle from the page view(Comfirmation Page)

I found this code but it doesn't work in Spring MVC

<c:if test="${!fn:contains(pageContext.request.servletPath,'/comfirmation')}">
         //Other Code
</c:if>

• My actual url is ( ShoppingCart.jsp ).
• It is used when /viewCart.htm,/updateCart.htm,/Confirmation.htm ,etc.
• So, the user go to the /Confirmation.htm , it also redirect to the ShoppingCart.jsp but the url path in the browser is /Confirmation.htm.
• I want to remove the language toggle when call the /Confirmation.htm in the above mention.

Answer 1

Finally, I got it. Here we go

<%
    String url=request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path").toString();
    if(url.equals("/Confirmation.htm")){    
%>
     //Language Toggle code
<% } %>

I decided to use this. Another way is that storing url path in session since front controller.

Answer 2

the pageContext.request.servletPath will give you the path of the jsp (and not the url your browser shows).

The request is forwarded to a controller, which returns a path to a view. The view ist called using a second internal request
