Redirecting error page 404...

Hi,

i try to make an error page with jsp on a tomcat 5.
Everything is ok, but i only want to show the name of the URL the user has
typed and isn't found.

The code in my jsp is a very simple html page and the part where i show the
url is the following ... :
The resource you are trying to reach, <%= request.getRequestURL()%>,
does not exist on this server.

But when my errorpage shows, i get the name of the error page, not the url
the user has used...

The user types : http://localhost/mytestapp/guess.jsp

and the message shown by the browser = The resource you are trying to
reach, http://localhost/mytestapp/filenotfound.jsp
does not exist on this server.

Anyone any suggestion?

Thank you very much.
Greets,
Tom

PS : i'm using jdk 1.4 & eclipse 3.0

Correct, that is stored in a different attribute as per the spec:

(String) request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.error.request_uri");

See http://servlets.com/soapbox/servlet23.html
