The hash part of the url is (in principle) useful only to the client side, so normally the browser does not send that portion to the server. Are you sure you are interested in reading it, in the server side? Normally, you shoudn't.

Not really. In many cases the hash tag isn't sent to the server by your client's browser.

For example, requesting this url:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2923610/java-getquerystring/2923618#2923618

Sends a request with these headers to the server:

GET /questions/2923610/java-getquerystring/2923618 HTTP/1.1
Host: stackoverflow.com
