HttpUtils.getRequestURL()

[galpix]

Hi,

I'm trying to call this from an XSP logicsheet :

StringBuffer URL = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request);

.... but I get this error :

/ start error (lines 195-195) "The method
getRequestURL(HttpServletRequest) in the type HttpUtils is not
applicable
for the arguments (Request)"
StringBuffer URL = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request);

I don't get it, isn't the request an HtttpServletRequest object ? How
can
I get the URL from an XSP page ??

Many thanks,

galpi

for the arguments (Request)"
StringBuffer URL = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request);

In one case you had Capital Request an the other lower case. Was that
typo in the original? Best always to cut and paste to ensure you
don't add or remove any typos from the original.


If you have an IDE, do a "show declaration" on request to make sure it
is of the class required.

Hi,

No typo .... the original code and error message were copy pasted :

StringBuffer URL = HttpUtils.getRequestURL(request);

But the error message as "Request" with Capital R ... I'm not using any
IDE, just writing code with a plain editor.

thanks,

I also tried casting :

"Cannot cast from Request to HttpServletRequest" StringBuffer URI =
HttpUtils.getRequestURL((HttpServletRequest)request);

what's this "Request" object ?

Not object, but a class. Checl where the variable is declared,
presumably it says Request instead of ServletRequest.

Right, class.

I'll look it up ...

thanks,

The error message indicates that the parameter you're passing to the
method is of class Request (Do you have a class named so ?) whereas the
method expects an object which is either a HttpServletRequest or one of
its subclasses.

So check your classes for something named "Request" and make sure that
you don't have another object named "request" (which is of an instance
of a class named "Request") in the scope of the call that hides the real
object (named "request" and of type "HttpServletRequest") which you want
to pass as a parameter.

Hi,

The "request" object, which seems to be an instance of "Request" is
made available to me in any XSP page, but I do not declare the
variable. The cocoon framework does it for me so I can fetch info about
the request when generating the page. The strange thing is that I can't
find anything about this "Request" class, but I'll keep digging. Thanks
for all the help, I'll let you know when I figure it out.
