Getting the previous page url

843833Sep 29 2001 — edited Oct 4 2001

In a JSP page, how to get the previous page's URL (the page which referred this JSP page). In javascript, document.referrer meets this requirement only if the page comes using anchor tag. If we change the URL using location.href, it doesn't work! Is there way to get the URL of the referrer in JSP, servlet or in javascript?
