Hi Ilya, IMHO I don't think this should be a Tapestry function, constructing an absolute URL is not always perfectly generic... i.e.: detecting SSL, port and hostname reliably to construct the URL from. Sometimes people configure SSL on non-standard ports, and browser headers are at best inconsistent. Since the servlet API provides what you need, (and only requires you to write a small block of code), it should suffice. But what I am getting at is that this code tends to be tied to your applications runtime environment.

Probably you've misunderstood my question. My goal was not to create absolute URI (which is absolute only within a single website), but full external URL that may appear, for example, in RSS feed or mail notification. toAbsoluteURI () method creates exactly what it says: "Converts the link to an absolute URI, a complete path, starting with a leading slash."
