Question

I created the following script in the script folder using netbeans. I can’t save the domain class. Also, if I deploy the entire project as a war file, can I run the script using Windows scheduler?

Script

def json = ""
def txt = new URL("http://free.worldweatheronline.com/feed/weather.ashx?q=Singapore,Singapore&format=xml&num_of_days=1&key=b674fb7e94131612112609").text
def records = new XmlSlurper().parseText(txt)
def weather = records.weather
def dates = weather.date
def min = weather.tempMinC
def max = weather.tempMaxC
def img = weather.weatherIconUrl
def desc = weather.weatherDesc
def descLink = desc.toString().replaceAll(" ","%20")
println max
Weathers w  = new Weathers()
w.cityName="singapore"
w.day = dates
w.description =desc
w.max = max
w.img = img
w.min = min
w.url = "jk"

Domain class

package org.mPest

class Weathers {
    int id
    String day
    String min
    String max
    String img
    String description
    String cityName
    String url

static constraints = {
    id(blank:false, unique:true)
    cityName(blank:false)
    url(blank:false)

}

}

You can’t use domain classes directly.

See this FAQ to read how to use domain classes from src/groovy:

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ApplicationHolder
//…
def book = ApplicationHolder.application.getClassForName("library.Book").findByTitle("Groovy in Action")

I don’t know if it possible to run the war packed script from windows but you could use the grails Quartz plugin to schedule your task…
