Importing services in the Grails console?

Question

How do I get the services in the grails console? My business rules are implemented in services but I don't have access to them in the grails console. Does anyone know how to help me?

Answer 1

The Spring ApplicationContext is available as the ctx variable in the console, and you can use this to access Spring beans such as services. Typically that would be def myService = ctx.getBean('myService') but Grails adds a metaclass helper so you can just do def myService = ctx.myService
