When a class field or method parameter that is a UriInfo object is decorated with the @Context annotation, the URI context for the current request is injected into the UriInfo object.

Example 46 shows a class with a field populated by injecting the URI context.

import javax.ws.rs.core.Context;
import javax.ws.rs.core.UriInfo;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
...
@Path("/monstersforhire/")
public class MonsterService
{
  @Context
  UriInfo requestURI;
  ...
}
