I've got analysis paralysis looking at all the different functional testing options for a new grails (v1.3.4) application. I've looked at WebDriver/Selenium (which I've used before) WebTest/Canoo Geb Tellurium Grails Functional Test and there must be others. I think some of the criteria that I would use to make a decision include (in...
I have a few log.debugs() that I don't want to process (since they are heavy) unless the app is currently in debug mode (not production). Is there a way to check if the grails app is currently in debug mode/development mode? ...
Given a sessionid, is it possible to retrieve that information from wherever the session data is stored, or do I have to store the information I want in a database, and retrieve based on the sessionid? ...
I have modularized a large Grails project into several plugins and want to share access to the spring security plugin to manage authentication across my project - is there an easy way to do this? I'm not sure how to share access to core project plugins from sub plugins ...
I am using Grails and am quite surprised by the way hasMany relationships work. I have a typical hasMany relationship where the parent id is in the child table. When I insert a child and try to save it through the parent object, the parent object's version id gets incremented. My question is: Why should the parent's version id change whe...
I have a User class and a Item class and a user can have multiple items. I want to select some users based on other property using finndAllByProperty and adding the pagination parameters (see http://www.grails.org/doc/1.2.2/ref/Domain%20Classes/findAllBy.html .) The problem is that I want to sort the result based on how many items ea...
I am working on a grails app where in development mode, I log some calculations to a log file through log4j. I want to provide a service which will read the log file and make its contents available to a developer so they can see what is being logged in the log file. Is there a way I can get the log4j appender file name at run time? ...
Is it possible to configure grails to resolve controllers and actions using the package they are in as sub-folders? For example, say I have the following directory structure: /grails-app/controllers/HomeController.groovy (with action index) /grails-app/controllers/security/UserController.groovy (with actions index, edit) /grails-app/c...
Hello, I'm completely new to grails and I'm trying to deploy some simple applications using grails' scaffolding. I have a field in a domain class that stores barcodes as Longs. The default display in Grails' scaffolding is to display these Longs with commas separating every third numeral (e.g. 1,234,567). My searching of the documentat...
I've used the JDK's SPI mechanism in numerous other applications without any problem; however, I can't seem to get it to work within Grails. I've tried the usual code (shown below) both from within a static initializer, and from within a class constructor, but neither worked. ServiceLoader loader = ServiceLoader.load(QueryEngine.class)...
Hi What is the technical differences bewteen render a template and include a view in grails? thanks in advance ...
I have an application that I am working on modifying and I am having a problem and not sure where to look. When I first started trying to compile the problem, some of the groovy files had imports that were not resolving correctly. After some tracking down, I see that the package was not defined the way the groovy files were expecting. S...
I have some Domain classes inheriting from a base class. However when I generate the scaffolding, the view does not contain any elements of the base class. The behaviour is the same regardless of table per hierarchy (default), or table per subclass. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? ...
I'd like to be able to set a configurable (by controller/action) request timeout in grails. The objective is to handle a rare high-load failure mode in a deterministic way. For example, I know that if a given controller/action doesn't return in 30 seconds, then something is horribly wrong and I don't want to keep the user hanging. I'd ...
I've looked through the code and documentation for the Grails Mail plugin (version 0.9) and it doesn't have the support I'm looking for. You can only set a single body and then provide a mime attachment that points to a static file. I need to actual pass a model into a GSP and have it render both the HTML and plain text versions and the...
My domain class is like this: Class Account { String accountNo ... def beforeUpdate = { new AuditTrial(eventName:"update").save() } } In my application there is a block-level transaction as follows: def updateAccount = { Account.withTransaction { status -> def source = Account.get(params.from) ...

I have a grails project and a java project. The java project was a standalone set of POJO classes, and I just dumped them into src/java under my grails project. In the controller, I added an import statement for this package. Now when I do a grails run-app and try to run the program, I get a grails runtime exception. It is saying NoCla...
