Views from other source

[Stephan.Schmidt]

Hello,

is it possible to load views not from the file system (or WAR) but on  
the fly from a different source (database, xml database?)
We have been thinking about Grails as a SnipSnap frontend and need to  
load views from wiki pages.

thanks
bye

Not without some tweaking, I guess there are 2 ways you could do it.. you could

a) change the "org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.view.GrailsViewResolver"
implementation configured in the SpringConfig

or

b) Add new methods to
"org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages.GroovyPagesTemplateEngine" to
create templates from another source and then use it directly from a
controller action to render the view

Cheers
Graeme
