java - How to get request URL in Spring Boot RestController

Question

I am trying to get the request URL in a RestController. The RestController has multiple methods annotated with @RequestMapping for different URIs and I am wondering how I can get the absolute URL from the @RequestMapping annotations.

@RestController
@RequestMapping(value = "/my/absolute/url/{urlid}/tests"
public class Test {
   @ResponseBody
   @RequestMapping(value "/",produces = "application/json")
   public String getURLValue(){
      //get URL value here which should be in this case, for instance if urlid      
       //is 1 in request then  "/my/absolute/url/1/tests"
      String test = getURL ?
      return test;
   }
}

You may try adding an additional argument of type HttpServletRequest to the getUrlValue() method:

@RequestMapping(value ="/",produces = "application/json")
public String getURLValue(HttpServletRequest request){
    String test = request.getRequestURI();
    return test;
}
