Building an absolute URL from a relative URL in Java

Question

I\'m having trouble building an absolute URL from a relative URL without resorting to String hackery...

Given

http://localhost:8080/myWebApp/someSer         


        

Answer 1

Using java.net.URL

 URL baseUrl = new URL("http://www.google.com/someFolder/");
 URL url = new URL(baseUrl, "../test.html");
