Answer 1

The createLink tag is geared for use with controller actions and won't do what you want it to outside of the url attribute.

You can always get to a gsp by directly: /user/foo.gsp with a combination of the link and resource tags.

user/foo.gsp

Othewise you can create a URL Mapping that maps a request directly to a view.

class UrlMappings {
    static mappings = {
        "/user/foo"(view:"user/foo")
    }
}

Using Grails 1.2 you can create a named URL Mapping that maps directly to a view:

class UrlMappings {
    static mappings = {
        name userFoo: "/user/foo"(view:"user/foo")
    }
}

and then use it with the link tag:

User Foo

or

User Foo
