Question

Im wondering if something like this is possbile:

abstract class AbstractController {
  def list = { 
   //default list action 
  }
}

class MyController extends AbstractController {
  def show = { 
   //show action 
  }
}

Where AbstractController is not visible on the web i.e /app/abstract/list is not accessible and where MyController has the actions list and show and is accessible on the web as /app/my/….

Anyone ever done anything like this?

Answer 1

Try putting AbstractController into src/groovy folder.

Though, sharing functionality over Controllers might be not the best idea – it’s better to move it to POGO classes or services. This question covers this issue partially: How do you share common methods in different grails controllers?
