JAX-RS UriInfo and UriBuilder is what JAX-RS provides. UriInfo will give the base URI builder, ex : UriBuilder builder = uriInfo.getBaseUriBuilder(); ex, if you have a services.war deployed then this buider will encapsulate a URI like http://localhost:8080/services. Next you can do say builder.path(Controller.class).build() This will represent the root URI which can be used to match the controller resource. UriBuilder has methods like path(Method) which can be used to capture a path segment a given resource method handles, etc... The other option is to delegate to the XSLTJAXBProvider which will pass the UriInfo details to the custom template as the xslt parameters... cheers, Sergey
