[OmniFaces utilities (2.4)] Get the HTTP request URI, regardless of any forward or error dispatch

---

[OmniFaces utilities] The getRequestURI() method returns the HTTP request URI, regardless of any forward or error dispatch. This is the part after the domain in the request URL, including the leading slash.

---

Method:

Use this one in JSF context (Faces#getRequestURI()) See also:  Faces.getRequest()  | Faces.getContext()	Use this one outside JSF context (Servlets#getRequestURI()) See also: Utils.coalesce()

                              

Usage:

Some use cases are available right in OmniFaces source code. For example, OmniFaces uses getRequestURI() to check if the given HTTP servlet request is a JSF resource request:

public static boolean isFacesResourceRequest(HttpServletRequest request) {

 return getRequestURI(request).startsWith(request.getContextPath() + ResourceHandler.RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER + "/");

}

Or to get the HTTP request URI with query string, regardless of any forward:

public static String getRequestURIWithQueryString(HttpServletRequest request) {

 String requestURI = getRequestURI(request);

 String queryString = getRequestQueryString(request);

 return (queryString == null) ? requestURI : (requestURI + "?" + queryString);

}
