Description

You can create Groovy scripts as CRUDs and run them. You can use it for updating entities dynamically, integrate with jobs, find specific entities persisted, export part of codes, admin stuff, among others. Currently, a Script is something with a label and a content (code).

You can add Groovy scripts and run them using the default CRUD view. It is available at /script.

def run(Script script, params)

def run(String scriptContent, params)

  • script:model entity
  • scriptContent: string with the script
  • params: hashtable of params

import scripting.Script;
return Script.findAll();
