How to get referring URL

I was hoping to find a function like request.getReferrer(), but according to my books there is no such thing(****)Is there any way to get the URL of the page you just came from, I need it in case I need to send you away, back from whence you came kind of thing...?

I think I saw this answered somewhere else, but I'll go ahead and answer it again here.

The method you need is request.getHeader(String); call this with the keyword "Referer" and it will get you the info you need:String ref = "" + request.getHeader("Referer");
