grailsApplication.config, static method, grails 2.0

[Gianluca Sartori]

Hi guys,

I'm creating a Menu static class to handle menus in my app. I'd like to setup the menu structure in the Config.groovy file.

What's the preferred way to access grailsApplication from a static method in grails 2.0 now that ConfigurationHolder is deprecated?

Many thanks,

G

The preferred option if at all possible is to refactor your code so you
don't need to... Does this have to be static or could it be a singleton
service (which you can autowire into other artefacts and access from GSP
views and layouts using
${grailsApplication.mainContext.menuService.whatever()})?

That could be a service, definitely. Tnx for the hint Ian!

I guess you've decided to follow a different path, but anyway if you still need to know how to access the grailsApplication from a static method, take a look at Burt's blog post here http://burtbeckwith.com/blog/?p=993 and especially at the comments where I'm asking a related quesiton.

In addition, since you're trying to handle menus in your app, you might be interested in the navigation plugin: http://grails.org/plugin/navigation
