grails question (sample 1 of Grails To Action book) problem with Controller and Service
- by fegloff
Hi,
I'm doing Grails To Action sample for chapter one. Every was just fine until I started to work with Services. When I run the app I have the following error:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: quoteService for class: qotd.QuoteController
at qotd.QuoteController$_closure3.doCall(QuoteController.groovy:14)
at qotd.QuoteController$_closure3.doCall(QuoteController.groovy)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
Here is my groovie QuoteService class, which has an error within the definition of GetStaticQuote (ERROR: Groovy:unable to resolve class Quote)
package qotd
class QuoteService {
boolean transactional = false
def getRandomQuote() {
def allQuotes = Quote.list()
def randomQuote = null
if (allQuotes.size() > 0) {
def randomIdx = new Random().nextInt(allQuotes.size())
randomQuote = allQuotes[randomIdx]
} else {
randomQuote = getStaticQuote()
}
return randomQuote
}
def getStaticQuote() {
return new Quote(author: "Anonymous",content: "Real Programmers Don't eat quiche")
}
}
Controller groovie class
package qotd
class QuoteController {
def index = {
redirect(action: random)
}
def home = {
render "<h1>Real Programmers do not each quiche!</h1>"
}
def random = {
def randomQuote = quoteService.getRandomQuote()
[ quote : randomQuote ]
}
def ajaxRandom = {
def randomQuote = quoteService.getRandomQuote()
render "<q>${randomQuote.content}</q>" +
"<p>${randomQuote.author}</p>"
}
}
Quote Class:
package qotd
class Quote {
String content
String author
Date created = new Date()
static constraints = {
author(blank:false)
content(maxSize:1000, blank:false)
}
}
I'm doing the samples using Eclipse with grails addin. Any advice?
Regards,
Francisco
