As a follow up, what is the path of a servlet mapped to: /somepath/*
There is an UNLIMITED number of URLS that can access this servlet - which one do you want? The information you want is dynamic - you can't expect a static answer. Perhaps if you post your question in more context - ie what is it you are trying to do with the URL information?
