One way we could avoid more scary string code is to expose URI template
functionality to the application (to extract template values from a URI,
or to produce a URI given template values), alternatively one can always
use the Java regex package for more complex patterns.

I am not sure what it means to provide host information for deployment
in say a servlet container like Tomcat. This is the kind of thing that
could change between development, testing and production deployment so
baking the host/port details into the application code may be
problematic. (Internally transforming the URI won't work when URIs of
resources need to be embedded into representations.)
