Wrong. Check
http://jackson.codehaus.org/javadoc/jax-rs/1.0/javax/ws/rs/core/UriBuilder.html#build(java.lang.Object...): Certainly you can provide values to build(). Actually this issue is just about the values provided to *build*, not to *path*. In fact, I opened that JIRA issue *because* I experienced the described problem with values passed into *build*.
