Question

I’m newbie to groovy.
How can we call domain methods from controller in Grails.

Controller :

def results = User.fetch_results

User Domain :

def fetch_results {
    def users = this.get(1)
}

Sorry if the above code is wrong, i need to know how to access domain methods from controller.

thanks.

My code is like this

UserController:

def results = User.addUser 

User domain:

def addUser {
    def user = new User()
    user.id = 1
    user.publication_name = pub_name
    user.publication_desc =  ""
    user.edit_date = new Date()
    user.save()
    }
}

I tried with above code but getting errors . how can we call “addUser” method from controller ?

thanks.

You need to make the method a static method.

class User {

    def static addUser() {
        def user = new User()
        ...
        user.save()
    }
}

Then make sure to import the User object in your controller.
