getting referer

[nepoez79]

Is there a way to grab the referer in a backing bean? For statistics purpose.

I use the following as a page action to log access to my application.

In the @Create method I set the request. I am only interested in the "User-Agent" header, but I am sure you can get the referrer as well.

@Stateful
@Name("accessManager")
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
public class AccessManagerBean implements Serializable, AccessManager {


 private static final long serialVersionUID = 2947953361734540770L;

 @EJB AccessDAO accessDAO;
 @EJB UsrDAO usrDAO;


 @Logger Log log;

 @SuppressWarnings("unused")
 @DataModel(scope = ScopeType.PAGE)
 private List<Access> accessList;

 @In(required = false)
 @Out(scope = ScopeType.PAGE, required = false)
 private Access accessNew;

 @In
 private FacesContext facesContext;

 @Factory("accessList")
 public void getList()
 {
 accessList = accessDAO.getAllAccesss();
 }

 @Factory("accessNew")
 public void getNew() {
 log.info("@Factory(roleNew)");
 accessNew = new Access();
 }

 private HttpServletRequest request;

 @Create
 public void setup() {
 request = (HttpServletRequest) facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest();
 }

 public String select() {
 return null;
 }

 public String update() {
 clear();
 return null;
 }

 public String add() {
 Access access = new Access();
 access.setUsr(usrDAO.getUsrByJAAS(request.getRemoteUser()));
 access.setStartDate(new Date());
 access.setAddressIP(request.getRemoteAddr());
 access.setPath(request.getRequestURI());
 access.setUserAgent(request.getHeader("User-Agent"));
 access = accessDAO.makePersistent(access);
 return null;
 }

 private void clear(){ }

 public String delete()
 {
 return null;
 }

 @Destroy @Remove
 public void destroy() { }
}
