Hi,

The Grails manual shows this example of dependency injecting domain classes:

class Book {    

    def bookService

    def buyBook() {
        bookService.buyBook(this)
    }
}

However, I tried this out, and bookService is null. My guess is that the dependency injection happens when an object is loaded from the DB, so the following will always return null

new Book().bookService

Can someone confirm this?
