creating a link from the controller

I want to create a link for an action from within the controller.

Link I want is: http://localhost:8080/myappname/color/show/1

So I've done this in my controller 

new ApplicationTagLib().createLink(controller: "color", action: "show", 
 id: 1, absolute: true)

This however creates this link: http://localhost:8080/color/show/1

Notice that myappname is missing. How can I make a complete url?

First, you don't need the new ApplicationTagLib() in a controller, you should just be able to use createLink or g.createLink. And secondly, check your grails.serverURL setting in Config.groovy, as it's this that is used when generating absolute links. With recent grails versions you should be able to remove the grails.serverURL setting entirely and it'll do the right thing.
