In case you are using Grails resources plugin and at some point you need to generate the static resource link in some service or ordinary ‘src’ class – following is a quick code that can help you getting the resources link\/URL (by using resources tag lib only). The good part is that it’s not a hard-coded URL, so it will follow all the standards\/settings configured around the Grails resources-plugin<\/a>. <\/p>\n

[code]
\ndef grailsApplication
\nString getStaticResourceLink(String uri){
\n if(uri){
\n def resourceTagLib = grailsApplication.mainContext.getBean("org.grails.plugin.resource.ResourceTagLib")
\n def rLinkResource = resourceTagLib ? resourceTagLib.resolveLinkUriToUriAndResource(uri: uri): null
\n if(rLinkResource)
\n uri = rLinkResource.uri
\n }
\n return uri
\n }
\n[\/code]<\/p>\n

Usually, resources plugin automatically renders the URLs in an application. But this was a very special requirement where I was required to generate the link manually. Another condition was to follow all the resources-plugin’s settings because it does a lot of work before generating the (dynamic\/accurate\/relevant) links. So this worked very well – even for the CDN configurations.
\nThe only thing you need to take care is to pass the correct “uri” otherwise (if resource not found at the given location\/uri) you may get a broken link.<\/p>\n
