How to get the request URL in Struts 2? - struts2

Question

I'm trying to redirect to the page where the user tried to login.
I mean, somepage → login → somepage
I know this;
In LoginAction
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
String url = request.getServletPath();
setUrl(url);
In struts.xml
<action name="LoginPro" method="login" class="LoginAction">
<result type="redirect">${url}</result>
<result name="input" type="tiles">login.error</result>
</action>
But it's not working.
The requested url is always "LoginPro" which is handling login process.
When a user clicks login button, page goes to LoginPro. So the request url is always loginPro...
It seems to be this way;
somepage → login → loginPro → LoginAction(request url is loginPro..) → loginPro
How can I redirect users to the page where they tried to login?

Answer 1

Thanks for your answers.
I found this way and it works!
url = request.getHeader("referer");
This url is the exact url where the action is called.

When you click a link of Login then in java behind that request store url as static variable.
static String url = request.getHeader("referer");</p>
Then after inserting login details u call come other method. Use that static variable to redirect.
For Example: I have used in my site.
<action name="login" class="actions.Login.LoginAuthenticate" method="input">
<!--Cookie functionality done -->
<result name="input">Login/login.jsp</result>
</action>
<action name="loginAuthenticate" class="actions.Login.LoginAuthenticate" method="execute">
<!--Cookie functionality done -->
<result name="redirect" type="redirect">${redirectUrl}</result>
<result name="input">Login/login.jsp</result>
</action>
public String execute() throws Exception {
if(getCheckCookies()){
setRedirectUrl("/login");
return "redirect";
}
Cookie un = new Cookie("un" , lemail);
un.setMaxAge(-1);
un.setVersion(1);
servletResponse.addCookie(un);
System.out.println("------>--------->------> " + redirectUrl);
return "redirect";
}
public String input() throws Exception {
HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
setRedirectUrl(request.getHeader("Referer"));
return INPUT;
}
public static String redirectUrl;
public void setRedirectUrl(String redirectUrl){
this.redirectUrl = redirectUrl;
}
public String getRedirectUrl(){
return this.redirectUrl;
}

Answer 3

How are you redirecting to your login action? If it's only a single place (or some common base that does the redirection) could you add a variable to the session, make your Login action SessionAware, and then just retrieve/remove the source URL after a successful login, and use that?

Answer 4

HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
String url = request.getRequestURI();
