Dear Joe,

The only thing that comes to my mind is using the original request 
object of the servlet request. Each JSP page has a variable "request" of 
type


    javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest. This is plain servlet stuff
    and also the case in Opencms.

request.getRequestUri() will give you the complete requested URL.
In earlier times there was a specific CmsRequest context, which you 
could obtain from CmsRequestContext. This has been removed since 6.0, so 
you should use the original servlet request object, that you get in your 
JSPs and pass the request object on to your beens, if that is needed.
