referer

[jrthor2]

I have some logic that checks the value of the refering page.

HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) facesContext.getExternalContext().getRequest();
	String referer = request.getHeader("Referer");

Then I have this logic:

if (!referer.endsWith("/locator/") && !referer.endsWith("index.jsf")) {
								sessionScope.remove(UtilityConstant.HEADER_LOGO);
							}

But the issue run into now is that if my referer ends with index.jsf?somevar=somevalue, my logic no longer works. How can I make this logic work if the referer has request variables on the end of it?

Thanks

put another condition that makes sure you are validating for index.jsf such as if(referrer.equals("index.jsf")){
}else{
//either referrer has no value or there are some other nae=value pairs attached
}

thanks, I got this working a different way. I can't just look for index.jsf because I have 2 index.jsf pages, in defferent directories, that are using the same managed bean, but I came up with another solution.

Thanks
