Afraid not.
For instance, here's an approximation of my @Path:
@Path("stuff/{productId}/{zip}")
Here's a paraphrased version of the method that builds the URL:
private String buildStuffURL(String productId, String zip) {
UriBuilder builder =
getUriInfo().getBaseUriBuilder().path(getClass()).path(getMethodMap().get("getStuff")).path(buildFileExtent());
return builder.build(productId, zip).toString();
}
The ".path(buildFileExtent)" is what I added on your advice (I used to just
append "buildFileExtent()" to the end of "zip", which is not optimal).
What I get is this (minus "http://";):
host:port/initialpath/stuff/1/98077/.en-us.xml
I needed to have this:
host:port/initialpath/stuff/1/98077.en-us.xml
