Question

Given: myList = [request:request,actions:actions] where request is an object and actions is a map.
Trying to get something like this:

{data:[
   {a:'a',b:'b',actions:[c:'c',d:'d']},..
  ]}

where a and b are request properties while c and d are actions are map entries.
using:

render(contentType:"text/json"){
    data = array {
       myList.each { obj->
          rqst = {
             obj.request
             actions = {actions: obj.actions}
          }
       }
    }
}

obviously syntax here is wrong… but perhaps close?

I think the following accomplishes what you were looking for. PropsHolder is a simple inner class with two (a, b) properties

def request = new PropsHolder()
request.a = "a"
request.b = "b"
def actions = [c: "c", d: "d"]

def myList = [request: request, actions: actions]

render(contentType:"text/json")
{
    [data: [
    a: myList.request.a,
    b: myList.request.b,
    actions: myList.actions
    ]
    ]
}

The json result looks like this when output to a web page:

{"data":{"a":"a","b":"b","actions":{"c":"c","d":"d"}}}

I wasn’t quite sure with the [a, b, actions] collection if you were looking for a map or an array. Tough to tell from the output, I went with map.
