How To Create An External Configuration File in Grails

Note, this information is taken from user Big Ed at StackOverflow. Thanks Ed!

Ed's Answer

Create a properties file myExternalProperties.groovy and put it on your classpath (such as the $TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory).

Create a configuration file grails-app/conf/MyConfig.groovy to use the external configuration values (if needed). You will not be able to use the properties defined in myExternalProperties.groovy within grails-app/conf/Config.groovy.

	package your.mom

	import net.liftweb.http.{S, HeaderDefaults, InMemoryResponse, LiftResponse}
	import net.liftweb.json.JsonAST.JValue
	import net.liftweb.json._

	// This is much nicer to use than the native JsonResponse in Lift
	case class WrappedLiftJsonResponse(json: JValue, statusCode: Int, respHeaders: List[(String, String)] = Nil) extends LiftResponse with HeaderDefaults {
	val headerContentType = "Content-Type"
	val headerJsonContentValue = "application/json"

	These additional/replacement JVM arguments for Eclipse seem to work pretty well.

	I believe I got them from a blog at some point, but no idea where.

	Please backup your original config and change at your own peril.
