Your grails environment is specified on the command line when you type run-app, for example. I don't believe you can switch the environment setting within Bootstrap.groovy--or any file--at runtime. Instead, you can change it by how you execute the grails commands:

-Dgrails.env=production run-app-- you can create your own environments to run, just change the value for -Dgrails.env to your custom environment.

Some of the grails tasks will run in a given environment by default; you don't need to set it explicitly.

1. run-app -- defaults to run in the development environment
2. test-app -- defaults to test environment
3. war -- defaults to production environment
