Question

I have a Controller action and sending a mail in it with something like:

mailService.sendMail {
    ...
    g.render(template: "mailtemplate")
}

in this template file is called _mailtemplate.gsp I use

<a href="<g:createLink controller="servicecontroller" action="confirm"/>">linktext</a>

But the output is http://action … that’s it! I would expect to have http://www.example.com/action. If I use the same createLink tag in a gsp which is not a template it’s working (by the way, email is working fine and all the other stuff in this template is rendered well).

Have you any suggestions on that?

Answer 1

Probably you need absolute link:

<a href="<g:createLink controller="servicecontroller" action="confirm" absolute="true"/>">linktext</a>

Btw, you can also use ${} syntax there, like:

<a href="${g.createLink(controller: "servicecontroller", action: "confirm", absolute: true)}">linktext</a>
