Struts2 get original request URI - struts2

I want to get the current request uri from inside a jsp page in a struts2 webapp. I can do this in an action using the following:
ServletActionContext.getRequest().getRequestURI()
... and I supposed technically I could then create a property of the action that just returns that value but I would rathern not write it into the action, is there a way I can access the same value in a jsp using an ognl expression?
EDIT:
After a bit more playing about I have realised that even if I can get the HttpServletRequest.getRequestURI() value in the jsp page by the time I get it, it will have changed to the path of the jsp not the original request URI so will not be what I want.
So instead what I have done is write an interceptor that grabs the value early on before the request is dispatched to the jsp file and then save it in the value stack which I can then refer to it in the jsp. This may be the only solution but if anyone knows different then do enlighten me.

This question Tiles2 Struts Switch Locale shows an application of the tag and shows how to maintain the parameters on the url (which might be useful for later).

Adding dynamic path parameters into Orbeon Form HTTP Service

I'm trying to add a dynamic path parameter into an HTTP service in Orbeon forms, ie call a specific URL based on the content of a form field. I know we can change the query string parameters but I need to change the URL itself - the one in this field:
I've read that this is possible in newer version of Orbeon forms by using
{fr:control-string-value('testField')}
but we are stuck on an older version.
I saw another question on Stack Overflow from a few years ago: Orbeon Form HTTP Service where #ebruchez explained xpath is executed in the Resource URL field and gave the example:
http://localhost/RESTFUL/GETADDRESS/{/*/bar/foo}
However, I can't get this to work.
I have been able to successfully execute XPath, eg:
{string-join("test", "value")}
But I don't seem to be able to work out the correct Xpath syntax to dynamically select the value of a sample field and insert it into this box. I think I'm missing something in how I construct the XPath to retrieve the value.
This is what I've tried so far:
{xxf:value('testField')}
{xxf:value($testField)}
{fr:control-value($testField)}
{fr:control-value('testField')}
{xxf:property('testField')}
{xxf:property($testField)}
{$testField}
{'testField'}
{xxf:get-request-parameter('testField')}
{xxf:bind('testField')}
{/*/testField/}
{/*/content/testField/}
{//testField/}
{//*:testField/}
{//:testField/}
{(//testField)[1].text()}
{//form/content/testField/text()}
{(//testField)[1]/text()}
If anyone has any hints of advice on what I'm doing wrong or could give me an example of the syntax I put in here to retrieve a value, I'd be eternally grateful.
You can use AVT (Attribute Value Templates) https://doc.orbeon.com/xforms/core/attribute-value-templates?q=avt. In resource in <xf:submission> or HTTP service wizard use e.g. {instance('fr-form-instance')//url} or if you want edit only some part of URL you can use http://httpbin.org/{instance('fr-form-instance')//url}. I make simple form for you https://demo.orbeon.com/demo/fr/orbeon/builder/edit/18c4bee259fd9f398238b3c72041ee43ea691aa7 witch save respose to dataset and have second example in resource.
Hope this help you

Ruby On Rails - Use "Format" As A URL GET Parameter?

I have a search page where I update the URL params on the page as filters are added or removed by the user. This allows me to deep link into the page (ie. going to /search?location=new+york&time=afternoon will set the location and afternoon filters).
I also have a filter named format. I noticed that passing in ?format=whatevervalue to the URL and then reloading the page with that param causes Rails to return a Completed 406 Not Acceptable error. It seems that format is a reserved Rails URL parameter.
Is there anyway to unreserve this parameter name for a particular endpoint?
In the context of an URL in Ruby on Rails there are at least four reserved parameter names: controller, method, id, format.
You cannot use these keys for anything else than for their intended purpose.
If you try to you will override the value internally set by Rails. In your example by setting ?format=whatevervalue you override the default format (html) and your application will try to find and render a whatevervalue template instead of the html formatted template. This will obviously not work.
Fun fact: Instead of using the default Rails path format like /users/123/edit you could use query parameters instead like this: /?controller=users&id=123&method=edit&format&html.
My suggestion is: Do not try to fight Rails conventions. Whenever you try to work around basic Rails conventions it will hurt you later on because it makes updates more difficult, common gems might break, unexpected side-effects will happen. Just use another name for that parameter.

How to remove a query parameter from URL without refresh the router in Ember js

I have a website built from Ember.js. A user can access a page through URL http://..../view?showTitle=true. However I don't want to explicitly expose the parameter showTitle=true to the user (meaning user will only see http://..../view). This URL is automatically generated and serves as a redirect destination URL. So, I have to remove it manually somewhere before the page load. But I still need this value of this query parameter to query data. Is there a way to achieve that (A example would be great)? What about do it without refreshing the router?
Actually, an example of your scenario would be greater :)
There are some other ways to store data while transitioning to a route. Such as: storing the params in transition object or storing the value in a service. Create a redirection route, use beforeModel hook to grab the value from query params then do a redirection to the real route.
A working example is: ember-twiddle-1
By the way, even if you don't describe your queryParamsin your routes, you can access them via transition.queryParams. This seems a bit hacky. But it works: ember-twiddle-2 (Note: It doesn't work in the same route.)
Updated:
At the setupController hook you can override the controller parameters. So you can remove the parameters from the url. ember-twiddle-3

Grails: Get calling file's name in custom taglib code

I'm writing a custom tag library and I was wondering if it's possible to get the filename of the file that invoked the custom tag? I need that tag to behave differently depending on which file calls it and if I can get the name that would be the best approach. Otherwise I'll just have to pass it parameters to tell it how to behave.
You can always access the controller and action name from the parameters.
${params.action}
${params.controller}
or even
${actionName}
${controllerName}
Not sure if this is going to help, but there is also requested URI.
${request.forwardURI}
Finally, from the calling GSP for the actual filename (with path) you can use:
${this.getGroovyPageFileName()}

How to access AJAX hash values in ASP.NET MVC?

I'm considering using the hash method to create static urls to content that is managed by ajax calls in a Asp.Net MVC. The proof of concept i'm working on is a profile page /user/profile where one can browse and edit different sections. You could always ask for the following url /user/profile#password to access directly to you profile page, in the change password section
However, i'm wondering if i'm not starting this the bad way, since apparently i can't access the part after the hash in any way, except by declaring a route value for the hash in global.asax. So i'm wondering if this is the right way to access this part of the url?
Am i supposed to declare a route value, or is there another way to work with hash values (a framework, javascript or mvc)?
Edited to add:
In pure javascript, i have no problem using the window.location.hash property, i'm not sure though how standard it is in today's browsers, hence the question about a javascript framework/plugin that would use it.
The thing is that the part that follows the hash (#) is never sent to the server into the HTTP request so the server has absolutely no way of reading it. So no need to waste time in searching for something that doesn't exist.
You could on the other hand tune your routes to generate links that contain the hash part so that client scripts can read it.
Send the hash value document.location.hash as a parameter to the controller action of your choice.
This can be done in the code if needed...
RedirectResult(Url.Action("profile") + "#password");
should work fine
