Absolute URL in java

Question

I am trying to get absolute URL in java class, but getting an error even after type casting it to Object.

Any suggestions

   String file = ((Object) request).getRequestURI();
     if (((Object) request).getQueryString() != null) {
        file += '?' + ((Object) request).getQueryString();
     }
     URL reconstructedURL = new URL(request.getScheme(),
                                    request.getServerName(),
                                    request.getServerPort(),
                                    file);
     System.out.println(URL.toString());

What is the actual type of request? By default, request is already an Object (no need to cast), and it most certainly does not contain a getRequestURI method. I presume you're getting a method not found error. Is request supposed to be an HttpServletRequest? download.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/servlet/http/… — hisdrewness

Addition to what @Daniel said URL class has not static method like .toString(). You should use reconstructedURL instead

I don't test it but please try this

String file = (request).getRequestURI();
if ((request).getQueryString() != null) {
    file += '?' + (request).getQueryString();
}

URL reconstructedURL = new URL(request.getScheme(),
                               request.getServerName(),
                               request.getServerPort(),
                               file);
System.out.println(reconstructedURL.toString());

A cast to Object is never nessecary, because everything is an object. I suggest posting the stacktrace of your error.

((Object) request).getRequestURI() doesn't work, because Object does not have a getRequestURI() function. Just leave the cast away.
