Current URL in href

Question

I want to add the current URL(returnTo - string type) in this part of code :href="@routes.AuthenticationController.login(**returnTo**)". I want to use it to redirect to the requested URL after login. Right now if a user is not logged in, gets a message on the page with Unauthorized 403, and has to use the log in button that will redirect them to the login page. For example if I am on http://localhost:9000/getByProductId/43, after the login I want to get to this page.

The login function looks like this:

public static Result login(String returnTo) {
    return ok(views.html.forms.loginForm.render(form(Login.class), returnTo));
}

The page with restricted message looks like this


        Access Restricted Unauthorized  403
        

        @if(User.findCurrentUser() == null || User.findCurrentUser().getIdentifier() == null) {
            You have to login first to access this functionality.
            
             Log in
        }

You can get current URL from RequestHeader object

public static Result login() {
    String uri = request().uri();
    return ok(views.html.forms.loginForm.render(form(Login.class), uri));
}
