How to autowire a service in grails (2.5.5) with multiple capital letters at front

Question

I have a domain class named ABCDCode and created a service for the this ABCDCodeService. Now I want to use this service in controllers so I wrote it like below:

class TestController{
      ABCDCode abcdCode

      def index(int id){
           abcdCode.getData(id) //Here I am getting NullPOinterException
      }
}

I am suspecting something wrong with the autowiring by name.

Answer 1

Grails looks first two characters for beans naming. If the second character of the controller/service is capital then Grails did not convert the first character to lower case.

e.g., TestService bean name is testService and TEstService bean name is TEstService.

So, your code becomes

ABCDCode ABCDCode

def index(int id){
    ABCDCode.getData(id)
}

But if you want to user abcdCode as bean name, then you can do this with the help of resources.groovy. Add the following to your resources.groovy file--

beans = {
    springConfig.addAlias 'abcdCode', 'ABCDCode'
}
