Problem calling grails service from gsp

Question

Hi, how can I invoke a service directly from a view ? I'm trying with ${my.domain.service.method} but it complains it can't find the property. And no, I don't want to use a controller because the view is a template.

Thanks

Answer 1

<%@ page import="com.myproject.MyService" %>
<%
    def myService = grailsApplication.classLoader.loadClass('com.myproject.MyService').newInstance()
%>

And then you can call ${myService.method()} in your gsp view

Be aware that calling transactional service methods from views hurts performance. Better to move all your transactional service method calls to the controller (if you can)
