Link directly to another gsp

Question

I want to link to another gsp file.

I tried:

<li>
 <a href="/private/dashboard">Dashboard</a>
</li>

However, this results in http://localhost:8080/private/dashboard which is basically not where I want to go.

Any recommendations what I could change to link to my dashboard.gsp?

Answer 1

You have to add a mapping to UrlMappings.groovy to make your link point to a GSP view:

"/private/dashboard" (view:"/private/dashboard")

Answer 2

you can use the <g:link>-Tag to create a Link to a controller action.
