Help needed in Servlet....!!!!

Question

Hi
In my web.xml I have following entry for servlet mapping.....!!!
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>createBillingItem</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.cdr.billing.BillingItemManagerController</servlet-class>
     <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>createBillingItem</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/createBillingItem</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>createBillingItem</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/editBillingItem</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping> Now in servlet controller I want to distinguish which url-pattern has been invoked so that I forward to different jsp some thing like this....!!!
//if <url-pattern>/createBillingItem</url-pattern>
getServletConfig().getServletContext().
              getRequestDispatcher("/BillingItemCreate.jsp").forward(request, response);
// if <url-pattern>/editBillingItem</url-pattern>
getServletConfig().getServletContext().
              getRequestDispatcher("/BillingItemEdit.jsp").forward(request, response);How can I achieve this.....pls help...!!!
Thanks

You can check HttpServletRequest#getRequestURI(), but I would rather create a 2nd servlet for that. All shared logic and/or methods can just be refactored to helper / utility classes.
*Thanks a lot BalusC...I am doing request.getServletPath () I will do as you said...!!!*
