Getting full path for a resource in Spring application

I have a POST method at

http://example.com/rest/cars

returning JSON representation of the newly created object.

How can I build the full path for interacting with the created resource? Example locations could be

http://example.com/rest/cars/1

http://anotherdomain.com/rest/cars/1

I want to fetch the domain part dynamically inside the application. I have tried org.springframework.web.context.WebApplicationContext and several other places, but to no success. Has anyone done this?

I use Spring framework and deploy in Tomcat if that changes anything...

Edit:

Following comment asking about what I try to achieve:

String domainPart = "http://howdoigethis.com"; // need to fetch domain dynamically
Integer id = 1;
String selfLocationOfId1 = domainPart + "/rest/cars/" + id;

Could you please provide a code example of what you're trying to achieve? I don't quite understand the *fetch the domain part dynamically inside the application*. – António Ribeiro Apr 29 '16 at 21:10
@aribeiro see my edit above – Kristjan Veskimäe May 09 '16 at 12:28
Do you mean make a request to another web server actually and return its result? – Horsing May 09 '16 at 12:34
@KristjanVeskimäe, assuming that you're on the server side, and that the server knows its own IP address, why don't you follow [this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/3371993/1346996) approach? – António Ribeiro May 09 '16 at 13:24
