Is it possible to replace a simple widget controller with Groovy class file controller ?

    <widget-definition ... id="com.mywidget">
        ...
        <controller class="MyCustomController.groovy"/>

Solution

  • You can still decalre your class, and call a groovy script that you can store in database, or in the classpaht, using ScriptingLanguagesService class.

    Or, create a cronjob with a scripting job, then you can run the cronjob from your class that will be used as a controller.
