This seems to work to build up a "done" parameter:
StringBuffer done = request.getRequestURL();
String query = request.getQueryString();
if (query != null)
{
done.append("?").append(query);
}
response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() +
"/login.jsp?done=" + done.toString());
After login is successful, it redirects to the "done" parameter. I
would have thought that the query would need to be URL-encoded, but I
have not had a problem, yet.
BTW, sticking this in the URL seems like the best way, IMO. Sticking
this in the session has potential to be trashed if the user has 2
windows open. I've noticed that Yahoo! places a URL as a parameter if
you try and access a page that requires authentication, too:
