Question

I’m building a simple Grails app for a web development class. For the most part, the app is finished, but I’m having one sticking issue.

On the index page, I have a series of buttons that correspond to the List, Create, and other templates that are built in Grails via scaffolding. How can I dynamically pass on the correct path to the controller action?

In order to do this, I need to get the current page URL and add the proper location. Is that possible to do in Grails or should I stick with jquery or some other ajax solution?

What are you trying to achieve here,

If you want to generate link to controller actions that you can use for button href, you can do it like this,

<button href="${createLink(controller:'foo', action:'bar')}"/> 

See the createLink tag

If you want to know controller and action name, ${controllerName} and ${actionName} can be used.
