Grails get war baseUrl intelligently?

Question

My baseUrl is http://localhost:8080/whatever. On other machines, it's http://localhost/whatever.

Is there a smart way to get this information without using

<%
    String baseUrl = "http://" + request.getServerName() + ":" + request.getServerPort() + request.getContextPath()
%>

I'm trying to dynamically create some links to path parameterized rest URLS, i.e:

http://localhost:8080/a/b/${param1}/c/${param2}

If there's a better way to do this, let me know.

In case you forget, isn't that was answered in the question here. Just set the grails.serverURL and grails.app.context in the configuration file of your deployed machine. Then use createLink to make the URL. Or I missed something?
