How to get the current page path in a sling servlet that is called in the component dialog?

Hi,

I have a component that can be dragged and dropped onto a parsys in a page. The component dialog has a dropdown that gets the options from a servlet. 

In the servlet, I want to access the currentPage  path.   i.e the  page where the component was added.

I have tried to access it in the servlet using request.getRequestURI() and request.getResource().getPath() etc. But it points to the servlet path.

Can anyone let me know how I can the current page path in the servlet?

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,

Chaitanya Pai

    hi Chaitanya,

    check the referer http header, it should contain what you are looking for.

     

    An alve would be to read the current path in the dialog's javascript and add it as a parameter to the servlet.

     

    cheers,

    If we use 'referer' we may end-up with Critical sonar issue.

    Instead we shall use 'RequestParametMap' and fetch 'item' key value, this is retuning exact page path.

    Here's some examples for couple options:

    • OPTION 1 - Hidden Parameter with Sightly and Servlets

    In your HTML form, add a hidden param:

            <input type="hidden" name="resourcePath" id="resourcePath" value="${currentPage.getPath}">

    In your Servlet..

            if (slingHttpServletRequest.getParameter("resourcePath")!=null) { resourcePath = slingHttpServletRequest.getParameter("resourcePath");         }

    Gives the path as /content/site1/en/abc.html

     

     

    • OPTION 2 - Just Servlets using HttpRequest Header
    String resourcePath=""; // path of the page from where the request came from Enumeration values = slingHttpServletRequest.getHeaders("Referer"); if (values != null) { while (values.hasMoreElements()) { String url= (String) values.nextElement(); log.info("URL=" + url); } }       

    Gives the path as http://localhost:4502/content/site1/en/abc.html
