> The framework in prototyping mode (when rendering domain objects) provides links to swagger and the restful api.
> However, this links do not work in general.
> Currently these links are contributed by actions that return java.net.URL value types. Which works fine if we want to link to external web-resources. But when linking to internal web-resources its almost impossible to derive the absolute URL a client actually sees.
> E.g. we have the relative path to swagger: '/swagger-ui/index.html' but it's impossible to derive the absolute path in general like 'http://some-server:someport:/...'. Not to mention that the servlet container hosting Isis could sit behind a http-reverse-proxy, or that we don't know if the protocol is http or https (SSL could be terminated somewhere else).
> And I believe, we should not even have to care!
> So I'd propose, we introduce a new value type similar to URL, but one that only represents relative paths within the web-app. 
> Feel free to comment, if I'm wrong our there is a better solution.
