access to application properties (${appName}) in external configuration

Question

I\'ve externalized my Grails configuration basically the same way as the config file suggests. I\'ve done it all the time with my 1.3 projects and the line

g         


        

Answer 1

You can use ${grails.util.Metadata.current.getApplicationName()} instead.

Note that since Metadata implements Map you can't shorten that to ${grails.util.Metadata.current.applicationName} since the key isn't applicationName.
