             Summary: getRequestURL doesn't return url in address bar but rather actual path
                 Key: AS7-5040
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-5040
             Project: Application Server 7
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 7.1.1.Final
            Reporter: Kelly Dolan


Given:
* an application MyEar.ear configured to use JAAS security that contains MyWar.war configured to redirect protected requests to a FORM login page
* a login page - MyEar.ear/MyWar.war/WEB-INF/login.jsp
* 2 conceptual sites - a user and admin site.  The user site is accessed as http://server:port/MyEar/user and the admin site is accessed as http://server:port/MyEar/admin.  The login page calls request.getRequestURL() to determine which site is being accessed and generates the content of the login page differently based on which site is being accessed among other things.
 
In JBoss 4, request.getRequestURL() returns
* returns http://server:port/MyEar/user when http://server:port/MyEar/user is entered
* returns http://server:port/MyEar/admin when http://server:port/MyEar/admin is entered
* if params are entered on the URL, they are not part of the string returned by getRequestURL() but that's okay for me
 
In JBoss 7, request.getRequestURL() returns http://server:port/MyEar/WEB-INF/login.jsp.
 
Ultimately, this seems to imply the URL in the address bar is not available to JSPs.  This impacts all related get URL/path methods and for us, is a HUGE problem.

JBAS-6570 was open for AS6 but closed (understandably).
