bootstrap
Purpose
The bootstrap command is mainly intended to be used by other scripts and enables the ability to bootstrap a Grails application instance outside of the container for usage in tools that require a reference to Grails' ApplicationContext.
Examples of its usage include Grails' shell and console
Examples
Add this to the top of your Gant script to use this as an include:
includeTargets << grailsScript("_GrailsBootstrap")Once this is in place you can bootstrap Grails using either of these methods:
loadApp- Loads and creates theGrailsApplicationinstanceconfigureApp- Loads all plugins and creates the SpringApplicationContext
After running loadApp the GrailsApplication instance will be available as the grailsApp variable:
loadApp()
for (grailsClass in grailsApp.allClasses) { println grailsClass }After running configureApp the GrailsPluginManager instance will be available as the pluginManager variable and the Spring ApplicationContext instance will be available as the appCtx variable:
configureApp()
Connection c = appCtx.getBean('dataSource').getConnection()
// do something with connectionDescription
Usage:
grails bootstrap
