when you use a redirect in a servlet is there some way to get the address of
the page it redirected from.

You could check the Referer header:

request.getHeader("Referer")

You could check the Referer header:

request.getHeader("Referer")

Note though that this info comes from the client, who can lie to you. So
don't count on it for security purposes; only use it to provide a convenient
but non-critical feature to the user.
