get values of variable defined on controller without writting query in action

Question

I have the following code in my Controller.

class WorkStationAssetController {
     def requestList = Request.list()

     def list = {
         [requestList :requestList]
     }        

     def save = {
         def requestInstance = new Request(params)            
         requestInstance.save(flush:true)  
         redirect(action:'list')            
     }
}

In requestList variable, I get the list of requests with newly saved values.

My question is how do I get the new value without writing query (say Request.list()) in render part of save action.

If you really just need to get the list of Requests, you can add to the top of your template:

<%@ page import="your.package.Request" %>

and where you need the list just call:

${ Request.list() }
