Is it possible to import an external bean configuration xml file into resources.groovy?

Question

In my current grails application, I have spring beans defined in resources.groovy. Now I also have an xml file with a bunch of beans already defined, and I would like to use them as is instead of recreating every single bean in the bean dsl.

Is this possible at all ? Is there an equivalent of the xml import tag in grails bean dsl ? I thought about adding the import ... in applicationContext.xml but I'm not sure that's the right place to do it.

Thanks in advance,

Philippe

You can import the beans in an XML file into resources.groovyusing

beans = {
    importBeans('classpath:/applicationContext-services.xml')
}
