Accessing Grails services from src/groovy

Question

Grails services are abstractions used for implementing business logic (as well as connecting to backing services/DBs, etc.) outside of a controller. So in a typical controller y

Answer 1

You can inject grails service in spring bean by defining injection login in resources.groovy under conf > spring

As I made an ExampleService and Example class in src/groovy

ExampleService

class ExampleService {

 def serviceMethod() {
    println "do something"
 }

}

Example Class under src/groovy

class Example {

ExampleService exampleService

 def doSomething() {
    def result = exampleService.serviceMethod()
 }
}

resources.groovy under conf>spring

beans = {

 ex(Example){ bean ->
    exampleService = ref('exampleService')
 }
}

so I can define Example ex as spring bean in grails-app and it will have ExampleService injected by itself.

Hope this helps. Thanks
