Get the name and path of the calling JSP

Question

Hi all,
I have a code structure like this
class MyBaseServlet extends HttpServlet{
doPost(){processRequest();}
doGet(){processRequest();}
processRequest(req, resp){}
myPrivateMethod(req,resp){
//I want the name of the JSP which invoked the servlet that extends this(MyBaseServlet) here
class MySerlvet extends MyBaseServlet{
processRequest(req, resp){}
I have a JSP which submits in the <FORM> action calls MyServlet. Since MyServlet extends MyBaseServlet, and this has the doPost() and doGet() methods, the control goes here first, and then since MyServlet has overridden the processRequest() method , the control comes here.
My query isthat, while in MyBaseServlet (either in doPost() or doGet(), say I call myPrivateMethod(), is there any way here, inside myPrivateMethod() to get the name of the JSP which called MyServlet.
Note:
The constraint here is that we are not in a position to include any code into either the JSP or MyServlet. I'm running this in a J2EE environment on Websphere.
Thanks in advance.

You can use the methods of the HTTPServletRequest class to get the URI/URL info...for example request.getRequestURI() /URL()/ServletPathInfo()
