When used as an include you need to supply the following at the top of your Gant script:
includeTargets << new File ( "${grailsHome}/scripts/Bootstrap.groovy" )Once this is in place you can bootstrap Grails using two distinct methods:
loadApp - Loads and creates the GrailsApplication instanceconfigureApp - Loads all the Grails plug-ins and creates the Spring ApplicationContext
The
loadApp command will create a
grailsApp variable which you can the evaluate:
loadApp()
grailsApp.allClasses.each { println it }The
configureApp command will create
pluginManager and
appCtx variables representing the
GrailsPluginManager instance and the Spring
ApplicationContextconfigureApp()
Connection c = appCtx.getBean('dataSource').getConnection()
// do something with connectionDescription
