I want to access a variable declared in filter

Question

def filters = {
     forUser(controller:'user', action:'*') {
         before = {
            user=springSecurityService.getCurrentUser()
            log.info("came to filter and the user is" + user)
         }
         after = {

         }
         afterView = {

         }
     }
}

I want to access this user variable in the user controller. Is it possible without making a session variable?

Answer 1

You can use request-scope variable:

request.setAttribute('user', user)

and use it in GSP as:

${user}

or in controller:

request['user']
//or
request.user
