using g tags in controller

Question

I am using the following statement in a filter

if(g.cookie(name:'abc'))

it prompts an error: *

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: g for class: com.AFilters Possible solutions: log at com.AFilters$_closure1_closure4_closure10.doCall(AFilters.groovy:77) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:679)

*

Do I have to import some class to use the statement? I have used this in controller its not creating any error

Answer 1

You can always inject grailsApplication, etc.

But for current case, I don't see any reason to use taglib, because controller has access to request and cookies. Try:

if (request.cookies.find { it.name == 'abc' }) {
}
