                             @Nonnull
                             String mvcType)
```
    Description copied from interface: MVCHandler
    Instantiates an MVC group of the specified type with additional variables.
    MVC Groups must be previously configured with the application's metadata before they can be used. This registration process usually takes place automatically at boot time. The type of the group can be normally found in the application's configuration file.
    The args Map can contain any value that will be used in one of the following scenarios
    - The key matches a member definition; the value will be used as the instance of such member.
    - The key does not match a member definition, the value is assumed to be a property that can be set on any MVC member of the group.
    For example, with the following entry available in Application.groovy
```
 mvcGroups {
     'foo' {
         model      = 'com.acme.FooModel'
         view       = 'com.acme.FooView'
         controller = 'com.acme.FooController'
     }
     'bar' {
         model      = 'com.acme.FooModel'
         view       = 'com.acme.BarView'
         controller = 'com.acme.BarController'
     }
 }
 
```
    Notice that groups "foo" and "bar share the same model type, We can make them share the same model instance by creating the groups in the following way:
```
 Map fooGroup = buildMVCGroup('foo')
 Map barGroup = buildMVCGroup('bar', model: fooGroup.model)
 assert fooGroup.model == barGroup.model
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    buildMVCGroup in interface MVCHandler
    
    Parameters:
    args - any useful values that can be set as properties on each MVC member or that identify a member that can be shared with other groups.
    mvcType - the type of group to build.
    
    Returns:
    an MVCGroup instance of the desired type
  - createMVCGroup
```

```
    Description copied from interface: MVCHandler
    Instantiates an MVC group of the specified type then destroys it after it has been handled.
    
    This method is of particular interest when working with short lived MVC groups such as those used to build dialogs.
    
    MVC Groups must be previously configured with the application's metadata before they can be used. This registration process usually takes place automatically at boot time. The type of the group can be normally found in the application's configuration file.
    For example, with the following entry available in Application.groovy
```
 mvcGroups {
     'foo' {
         model      = 'com.acme.FooModel'
         view       = 'com.acme.FooView'
         controller = 'com.acme.FooController'
     }
 }
 
```
    An instance of the "foo" group can be used as follows
```
 withMVCGroup("foo", "foo1", new MVCCallable<FooModel, FooView, FooController>() {
     public void call(FooModel m, FooView v, FooController c) {
         m.setSomeProperty(someValue);
         c.invokeAnAction();
     }
 });
 
```
    MVC groups must have an unique name.
    Specified by:
    
    withMVCGroup in interface MVCHandler
    
    Parameters:
    mvcType - the type of group to build.
    mvcId - the name to assign to the built group.
    handler - a code block used to configure and manage the instantiated group
  - createMVCGroup

```
    Description copied from interface: MVCHandler
    Instantiates an MVC group of the specified type with a particular name.
    MVC Groups must be previously configured with the application's metadata before they can be used. This registration process usually takes place automatically at boot time. The type of the group can be normally found in the application's configuration file.
    The args Map can contain any value that will be used in one of the following scenarios
    - The key matches a member definition; the value will be used as the instance of such member.
    - The key does not match a member definition, the value is assumed to be a property that can be set on any MVC member of the group.
    For example, with the following entry available in Application.groovy
```
 mvcGroups {
     'foo' {
         model      = 'com.acme.FooModel'
         view       = 'com.acme.FooView'
         controller = 'com.acme.FooController'
     }
 }
 
```
    We can create two instances of the same group that share the same model instance in the following way:
```
 Map fooGroup1 = buildMVCGroup('foo', 'foo1')
 Map fooGroup2 = buildMVCGroup('bar', 'foo2', model: fooGroup1.model)
 assert fooGroup1.model == fooGroup2.model
 
```
    MVC groups must have an unique name.

```
    Description copied from interface: MVCHandler
    Instantiates an MVC group of the specified type then destroys it after it has been handled.
    
    This method is of particular interest when working with short lived MVC groups such as those used to build dialogs.
    
    MVC Groups must be previously configured with the application's metadata before they can be used. This registration process usually takes place automatically at boot time. The type of the group can be normally found in the application's configuration file.
    The args Map can contain any value that will be used in one of the following scenarios
    - The key matches a member definition; the value will be used as the instance of such member.
    - The key does not match a member definition, the value is assumed to be a property that can be set on any MVC member of the group.
    Specified by:
    
    withMVCGroup in interface MVCHandler
    
    Parameters:
    mvcType - the type of group to build.
    mvcId - the name to assign to the built group.
    args - any useful values that can be set as properties on each MVC member or that identify a member that can be shared with other groups.
    handler - a code block used to configure and manage the instantiated group
  - destroyMVCGroup
```
public void destroyMVCGroup(@Nonnull
                   String mvcId)
```
    Description copied from interface: MVCHandler
    
    Destroys an MVC group identified by a particular name.
    ATTENTION: make sure to call the super implementation if you override this method otherwise group references will not be kept up to date.
    
    Specified by:
    
    destroyMVCGroup in interface MVCHandler
    
    Parameters:
    mvcId - the name of the group to destroy and dispose.
