can resources.groovy be referenced as in Externalized Configuration?

[Edderd]

I'm able to define my Config.groovy and DataSource.groovy in external files per section 3.4 in http://grails.org/doc/1.1.x/. 

I am unable to do the same for the resources.groovy file which uses the grails Spring DSL. 

Is there a reason for this or am I doing something wrong?

Is there some alternative so that I can reference some externalized spring config in a grails/groovy way?

You should be able to put loadBeans("file:externalResources.groovy") or
similar into your normal resources.groovy.

I haven't been able to get loadBeans to work using any of the overloaded signatures. 

resources = {

}

This is the one that seems most relevant. 

beans = {

  loadBeans("file:c:\\myResources.groovy")

}

The file myResources.groovy looks like this: 

beans = {

     extConfig(com.mycompany.reporttool.ExtConfig) {

configValue = "Grails spring beanbuilder Configured externally!!"

                DEFAULT_DATA_PATH = "c:/development/software/apache/Apache2.2/htdocs/reports/"

}

}

When I try to access the extConfig in my controller with

def extConfig it fails with a NPE. 

Note, this works fine when I simply put the beans definition in the spring/resource.groovy file.

try removing the "=" right after beans in the myResources.groovy

instead of "beans = { ..." do "beans {..."

Thanks Joshua. That did it. 

Now all I need is to get access to ${appName} and ${userHome} in my externalized resources.groovy file the way it's available to my externalized Config.groovy file. 

Any ideas there?

System.getProperty('user.home') is a workaround for userHome.  If the
ApplicationHolder is set up at the point where this file is parsed then
ApplicationHolder.application.metadata.'app.name' would work for the
appName but I haven't tried this myself.
