Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`java.lang.String`	`constructClientPath(java.lang.String... terms)`	Constructs a client path, the path portion of an absolute URL.
`java.lang.String`	`constructDispatchPath(java.lang.String... terms)`	Constructs the dispatch path, which is like the client path, but omits the context path; this aligns the result with the value returned from `Request.getPath()`, and is used in code, typically `Dispatcher` implementations, that are attempting to route based on the incoming request path.
