Get current ApplicationPath value in Jersey resource method - jersey

Question

I have a jersey 2.0 application using mcv with freemarker templates. In one template I have a form whose action is to resubmit to same url. Say the form url is:
http://my-domain.com/app-base-path/my-form
So the application annotaion is : #ApplicationPath("app-base-path")
and resource path annotation is #Path("my-form"). Great.
I'm trying to set the form action dynamically to be:
<form name="settings" action="${model.formAction}" method="post">
where action should equal: app-base-path/my-form
I'm trying to set the value in the resource by injecting UriInfo. This is what I'm getting:
formAction = uriInfo.getPath();
//result formAction = "my-form"
How can I retrieve the path including app-base-path?
No javascript please!

Answer 1

You can get the absolute URI with uriInfo.getAbsolutePath(), which will return a URI with the full URI of the corresponding resource method.
http://localhost:8080/app-base-path/myform
A URI can be broken down in distinct parts, which the URI class has specific methods to obtain those parts
scheme authority path
--------------------------------------------------------
http :// localhost:8080 /app-base-path/myform
The URI class has method to obtain all of those.
uri.getScheme()
uri.getAuthority()
uri.getPath()
I'm pretty sure I don't need to tell you which one you want :-)
