Access grailsApplication or Service in groovy class

Question

I am trying to access grailsApplication in groovy class under src/groovy but I get a null pointer exception. I also tried to inject a service into the same class and same result. How can I access grailsApplication or a service from groovy class? (I am using Grails 1.3.7)

Answer 1

After Grails 2.0, you should use:

 def grailsApplication = Holders.grailsApplication
