Hassan,

I couldn't seem to get
request.getAttribute("javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path") to work in my
situation (it returns null, maybe because its being called from a custom
tag?), but Stefan's suggestion of request.getServletPath() accomplishes just
what I need.

Thank you for your response, and to Stefan as well,
Todd

TSSIYF -- The Servlet Spec is your friend :-)

SRV.8.4.2 Forwarded Request Parameters
 Except for servlets obtained by using the getNamedDispatcher
method, a servlet that has been invoked by another servlet using
the forward method of RequestDispatcher has access to the path
of the original request.

The following request attributes must be set:
  javax.servlet.forward.request_uri
  javax.servlet.forward.context_path
  javax.servlet.forward.servlet_path
  javax.servlet.forward.path_info
  javax.servlet.forward.query_string

HTH!
