How to get the actual URI in Google App Engine?

I am using Gaelyk 0.7 with GAE 1.5 and I am trying to get the request URI in controllers / views:

${request.uri}

This works fine locally, but is org.mortbay.jetty.Request.getUri()not supported in production.
When I reach /some/path, I expect to receive '/some/path'as a URI, but ${request.requestURI}it gives me something like '/index.groovy'.

Is there any workaround for this?
