How to get file and path w/o the Mapped Controller Request

[braithwaitegarth]

Is there an easy way to get the portion of the request's path sans the request controller mapping prefix?

Example:
URL:

http://server/webcontext/controller_request/directory/filename.ext

Simple Request Mapping Snippet:

<prop key="/controller_request/**/*.ext">theController</prop>

Controller Snippet:

public ModelAndView handleRequest( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {

String partialPathAndFilename = someHelperClass.getPathWithoutMappedRequest( ... );
// returns /directory/filename.ext

Thanks. Garth.

You're gonna to have to parse the path info by stripping out "/controller_request".
