Using g.render in a grails service

Question

I\'m trying to use g.render in a grails service, but it appears that g is not provided to services by default. Is there a way to get the templating engine to render a view

Answer 1

It's even simpler now in Grails 2 with the PageRenderer. e.g.:

class SomeService {
    def groovyPageRenderer

    void someMethod() {
        String html = groovyPageRenderer.render(view: '/email/someTemplateName')
    }
}
