Grails - getting a message value from controller

Question

How can I get a value from message properties outside of GSPs? For instance, the equivalent of

<g:message code="some.message"/> 

but in a controller?

Answer 1

Inside a controller or a taglib, you can use the following :

g.message(code: 'some.message') 

However, inside domain classes or services, you need to inject messageSource and call getMessage() method from Sping class AbstractMessageSource. This snippet shows you how to do that:

import org.springframework.context.i18n.LocaleContextHolder as LCH ... class MyServiceOrMyDomain {   def messageSource    ...   messageSource.getMessage(code, msgArgs, defaultMsg, LCH.getLocale())   ... }
