How to get absolute route url as String In Play framework 2?

Question

I am currently getting a relative url route as a String via:

String url = controllers.directory.routes.Directory.viewOrganisation( org.id ).url(); 

This works fine however I would like to get the full absolute url. I am sure this is simple, I just can't seem to find it.

Alternatively, how can I get the current domain within a view to add to the relative url?

In very general you need:

routes.MyController.myMethod().absoluteURL(request());
