is this method, request.getRequestURL(), right method for doing same
thing w/JavaScript you do with window.location()??  I think it is, but
just double-checking..

this is for a JSP, I need it to print diff code depending on what
current url is.. this is what I did:

String thisURL = "";
thisURL = request.getRequestURL().toString();

........

if (thisURL.indexOf("events/index.jsp") != -1) {
   %>
    print this code.. (this code being custom tags, hence the %>...<%..)
   <%

} else if (thisURL.indexOf("events/index.jsp") == -1) {
    %>
    print this code..
    <%

sound good? it works, but I want to make sure this is 100% kosher, it's
for something at work..

thank you very much..
