Description

According to the JavaDoc of javax.ws.rs.core.Response.created(URI), relative URIs should be resolved relative to the request URI.

However, CXF resolves the URI relative the the servlet path of the CXFNonSpringJaxrsServlet.

Example:
For a resource at path /account/someaccount/entries served by a servlet registered at /service/b/api, the following code should result in a response with the HTTP header Location: http://localhost/service/b/api/account/someaccount/entries/newentry

    @POST
    public Response create() {
        URI location = new URI("newentry");
        return Response.created(location).build();
    }

However, the header has the incorrect value Location: http://localhost/service/b/api/newentry
