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

If you are using Grails 3.* then the service class can implement DataBinder trait and implement bindData() as shown below example:

import grails.web.databinding.DataBinder

class SampleService implements DataBinder {

    def serviceMethod(params) {
        Test test = new Test()
        bindData(test, params)

        test
    }

    class Test {
        String name
        Integer age
    }
}

This is how I quickly tried that in grails console:

grailsApplication.mainContext.getBean('sampleService').serviceMethod(name: 'abc', age: 10)
