Hmm, I assume your controller invokes the view via
RequestDispatcher.forward()?
In this case, the path elements of the request object exposed to the
view must reflect the path used to obtain the RequestDispatcher, as
per the servlet spec
Therefore, if your view is invoked like this:
getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/WEB-INF/views/experienceForm.jsp").forward(req,
res);
from the controller within the /uep context,
${pageContext.request.requestURI}
must evaluate to
/uep/WEB-INF/views/experienceForm.jsp
in the view.
The original request URI that was used to invoke the controller is
available to the view as a request attribute with name
"javax.servlet.forward.request_uri", so from your view, you could access
it as follows:
${requestScope["javax.servlet.forward.request_uri"]}
Hope this helps.
