Hi Graeme,

I don't know how you guys pump out releases like you do - amazing :)

I have some little problems (I think they are little!)
I ran grails clean and grails upgrade on two of my projects. I have  
some errors I don't understand.
Message: No such property: errors for class: RoleController
Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property:  
errors for class: RoleController
Class: ControllersGrailsPlugin
At Line: [363]

The above happens with any controller that extends my  
SecureBaseController. Do I now have to manually add an errors  
instance variable of some type?

Message: Cannot get property: pluginContextPath on null object
Caused by: Cannot get property: pluginContextPath on null object
Class: JavascriptTagLib
At Line: [62]

I can't view the default list of controllers in index.gsp. If I  
remove this from main.gsp, things are ok:
<g:javascript library="application" />
The source is def requestPluginContext = request
[CONTROLLER].pluginContextPath

So I could compare default generated code, I created a test project,  
but I get the same error as above.

Thanks
-Ed

I get this also, when I hit the root context of my app, i.e.:

http://localhost:8080/MyApp

If I go to http://localhost:8080/MyApp/user/login, or any other specific
path, things work just fine - that exception is limited just to the
root path.

Hmm pass. Not seeing that here.

Please check that your plugins/core/grails-app/taglib/
JavascriptTagLib is the same as the one under GRAILS_HOME. If not,  
you will need to copy them over. There is a warning in the grails  
upgrade process about this -if- your code is in SVN/CVS.

I get the same error. Both files are indeed the same. On said taglib,
on the Javascript closure, it reads:

        setUpRequestAttributes();
        def requestPluginContext = request[CONTROLLER].pluginContextPath

That request[CONTROLLER]  is returning null.  To get the exception to
go away, replace with:

        setUpRequestAttributes();
        def requestPluginContext = request[CONTROLLER]?.pluginContextPath

Hi Ricardo,

looks like a bug introduced by a recent change to the pluginContextPath. I'll raise an issue and get that fix checked in asap.

cheers

hi,

one of the new features of this release is "Dependency Injection for domain classes"

I don't know much about spring, what is this features for? How can I make use of it?

Thanks
james

You declare a service on your domain class just like you would on your
controller.
The usefulness of it is still debated. But in sohrt it enables richer
domain models.

So to give you an example of its usefulness you could do something like this:

BankAccount {

  CurrencyConversionService currencyConversionService

  BigDecimal normalizedAmount
  String accountType

  void creditAmount(amount, currency) {
      normalizedAmount += currencyConversionService.normalize(amount, currency)
  }

  void debitAmount(amount,currency) {
      normalizedAmount -= currencyConversionService.normalize(amount, currency)
  }

  BigDecimal getBalance() {
      getBalance(Currency.CHF)
  }

  BigDecimal getBalance(currency) {
      currencyConversionService.convert (normalizedAmount,

Currency.NRM, currency)
  }

}

Of course without this feature you would be able to do the same thing
but it will all have to be outside of your domain class. Just like DAO
without GORM is all outside the class (finders, save, delete ... etc.)
which usually leads to domain classes being almost naked (or anemic is
another name for that). They have no functionality. Since GORM brings
a lot of functionality into the classes it only makes sense to go the
full length and bring services in, hence is the feature.

HTH,
Alex.

Hi Graeme,

I've been using grails-0.5.5-snapshot for the last 3 weeks. Mainly because of the improvements to unit/integration testing. In 0.5.5 however, it looks like the way Controllers can be tested has either changed, or there is a new bug ;-)

I am getting this error:

  No such property: delegate for class: org.springframework.mock.web.MockHttpServletResponse

when getting content from the response:

  def wc = new WordController()
  ...
  wc.response.delegate.contentAsString


The docs on testing controllers (http://grails.org/Testing+Controllers) have not changed.

Many thanks,
Marcin
