Getting the base url of my server with JAX-RS

Question

How do I get the base url of my server with JAX-RS? Basically I want ""http://localhost:8080/.." when the program is on localhost and "http://www.theSite.com/..." when the program is on a live server. I am using Jersey Framework.

Answer 1

Yes, you may use myUri = uri.getBaseUri();

Here how you get the Uri object :

@Path("myresource")
public class MyResource{

  @Context
  UriInfo uri;

  @GET
  public String myresponse(){
    URI myUri = uri.getBaseUri();
    return ...
  }
}

You will have plenty of informations with UriInfo. Check here the javadoc.

Answer 2

Use getBaseUri() of @Context UriInfo.
