Question

I’m having trouble accessing springSecurityService from resources.groovy file, I’m trying to load user locale setting and create LocaleResolver

import User

beans = {
    localeResolver(org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.SessionLocaleResolver) {
        def user = User.get(springSecurityService.principal.id)
        if (user?.settings?.locale) {
            defaultLocale = new Locale(user?.settings?.locale)
            java.util.Locale.setDefault(defaultLocale)
        }
    }
}

Thanks,
Mika

Your code above doesn’t make a lot of sense. In resources.groovy you’re supposed to define the implementation class of Spring beans and set their dependencies. It looks like you’re trying to actually write the implementation class in resources.groovy.

Instead you should write your own LocaleResolver class

package org.example

class MyLocaleResolver extends AbstractLocaleResolver {

  def springSecurityService

  // implementation of methods omitted, because I haven't clue how you want to resolve Locales
}

Then in resources.groovy, define a bean of this type that replaces the default localeResolver bean

beans = {
    localeResolver(org.example.MyLocaleResolver) { 
        springSecurityService = ref('springSecurityService') 
    } 
}
