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

My advice would be to do this in the controller. Service should have reusable logic and not depend on a view template, leave that work to the controller. Use the service to get the data you need to pass to the template, but leave the work of interacting with the template to the controller.
