how to get full url path from portlet request?

[igorroyzis]

Is there a way to get a full url path from portlet request?

For example, if I enter www.mywebsite.com/somevalue, this request seems to get processed by my home page default portlet (let's call it MyHomepagePortlet).

I am looking for a way to get the "www.mywebsite.com/somevalue" value, but I can't find any attribute that carries this information.

Any ideas would be appreciated?

I may not have understood your question because in your example www.mywebsite.com/somevalue I wondered why you didnt say /portal. But one thing you can try inside your portlet doView method is

renderRequest.getScheme() + "://" + renderRequest.getServerName()

You may also want to look into getServerPort() and getContextPath().
