In a Groovy template, the mechanism to create an URL is the same as the way of APIs above, however a splash of integration has been done to make creation of NodeURL simpler. A closure is bound under the nodeurl name and is available for invocation anytime. It will simply create a NodeURL object and return it:

UserNode node = ...;

NodeURL url = nodeurl();

url.setNode(node);

String s = url.toString();

The nodeurl closure is bound to Groovy template in WebuiBindingContext.

// Closure nodeurl()

put("nodeurl", new Closure(this)

{

  @Override

  public Object call(Object[] args)

  {

    return context.createURL(NodeURL.TYPE);

  }

});
