Grails binddata in service

Question

Is there a way to utilize bindData in a service other than using the deprecated BindDynamicMethod? I can\'t just use

TestObject testOb         


        

Answer 1

In Grails 2.4.4 you can do something like this:

// grails-app/services/demo/HelperService.groovy
package demo

import org.grails.databinding.SimpleMapDataBindingSource

class HelperService {

    def grailsWebDataBinder

    TestObject getNewTestObject(Map args) {
        def obj = new TestObject()
        grailsWebDataBinder.bind obj, args as SimpleMapDataBindingSource
        obj
    }
}
