How to get Grails application name within Config.groovy?

Question

I want to include the Grails application name in some of my configuration settings in grails-app/Config.groovy. I\'ve tried many ways without success. For example

Answer 1

try this:

edu.appname1 = appName

or if you want to use as part of a longer configuration parameter

edu.appname1 = "something.$appName.else"

Answer 2

To get the appName in a config file that you're including with grails.config.locations you can use:

appName = grails.util.Metadata.current.'app.name'
