You can use UriInfo.getBaseUriBuilder() to get a builder initialized
with the base URI of the application. You can then append the path to
a specific resource using the path() method. I.e. to get an absolute
URI for the resource above do something like:
uriInfo
.getBaseUriBuilder().path(Myresource.class).build("resourcename");
