Hi Jan
I've said many times: relative links can be used effectively.
Do you think it is a design issue, how to set the default value for one of @Ref's properties ?
Thanks for the link though
Cheers, Sergey

To provide some context for the discussion:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-5.1
Can't we reasonably expect clients of JAX-RS based servers to get RFCs 2616 and 3986 right? Not being able to turn a relative URI reference into an absolute one is just bogus and should not matter to our design decisions.
