Question

I have a custom validator in a domain class that refers to a config property:

accountExpirationDate (
    nullable:true,
    validator: { val, obj ->
        if (val > new Date() + CH.config.EXPIRATION_WINDOW_DAYS) return ['date_too_late']
    })

where CH is org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder

Since ConfigurationHolder is deprecated, I need to get rid of it. I have tried using grailsApplication in its place but it does not work in this instance. Is there another way?

Answer 1

Add a dependency injection for grailsApplication, and then you can access that from the obj instance

class MyDomainClass {

   def grailsApplication

   Date accountExpirationDate

   static constraints = {
      accountExpirationDate(nullable:true, validator: { val, obj ->
         def config = obj.grailsApplication.config
         if (val > new Date() + config.EXPIRATION_WINDOW_DAYS) return ['date_too_late']
      })
   }
}
