Url for a page group

Question

I can get the groups that a current member belongs to like the following:
User user = new User(ctx, Util.IDTYPE_DN, userDn, mysub, false);
String [] groupAttrs = {"displayName","owner"};
Group [] groups = user.getGroupMembership(ctx, groupAttrs, false);
String[] groupsList=new String[groups.length];
for(int i=0;i<groups.length;i++){
PropertySetCollection properties = groups.getProperties(ctx,groupAttrs);
PropertySet set = properties.getPropertySet(0);
Property name = set.getProperty("displayName");
groupsList[i]=(String)name.getValue(0);
return groupsList;
This will return the result to a jsp page and then the jsp will render the result like:
<table width="100%" border="0">
<%
for(int i=0;i<groups.length;i++){%>
<%="<tr><td><a href=\"/portal/page/portal/\""+groups[i]+">"+groups[i]+"</a></td></tr>"%>
<%
%>
</table>
all this is within a portlet to display the groups a user belong to. The user should be able to click on the links and then redirected to that particular page. The question is how to get the url or the part of the url for the group. I read many posts about using undocumented procedures/tables like wwpob_page_util and page$. Is there a supported way to do this with the java apis and maybe with a plsql packages. Thank You

Tom this is fantastic - thank you. I took your advice and purchased a domain name from godaddy.com ($9) and it is already forwarding to may .mac web page.
The only question I have is that I masked my domain name so that the browser always shows my group name (vs showing my .mac user name on the url). The only problem with that is that the same domain name 'jpmensgroup.com' shows up on every page of that site. Is there a way to include the names for the various pages so each one has its own address. such as jpmensgroup.com/events or jpmensgroup.com/photos etc?
Thanks again. I bet you have to answer this question quite alot! But I am thankful that you do!
Best,
Bob
