Hi Jean, I am not sure you can get direct object definition of WebClient into Grovvy. Actually WebClient is written in java and it has a built in Grovvy jar that let you handel the grove script.
If you look at the following slide show from the WebClients home page. it will show you how to create your own first WebTest project. This project will include a grovvy code for a simple click event on the google website. You can simple modify that project for your own site. After you get started with the project you use the Step Index link below to create new steps in your script (click buttons, click links, verify text, ext...).
