grails.serverURL in Config.groovy is ignored in STS run-app

Is there any way to have Springsource ToolSuite use the grails.serverURL when you use the grails run-app run configuration? I've changed

Code:

---

grails.serverURL = "http://localhost:8090/${appName}/"

---

and when I call run-app from the tool, I get:

Code:

---

Server running. Browse to http://localhost:8080/${appName}

---

It would make sense that, if you override the port number in Config.groovy, it would get picked up in run-app.

grails.server.port.http = 8090 in BuildConfig.groovy will do the trick

That works great. Thanks for the tip!

Brian

It would be preferable to put the port number in application.properties, and then refer to it in BuildConfig.groovy.

BuildConfig.groovy

Code:

---

grails.server.port.http = ${app.portNumber}

---

application.properties

Code:

---

app.portNumber=8090

---

I tried this to no avail.Any thoughts?

Brian

The intention behind application.properties is that only Grails should modify it. BuildConfig.groovy is the place for user configuration. Why do you want to put the setting in application.properties?

Peter,

I didn't know that configuration in BuildConfig.groovy was canonical, and that application.properties was not. I just had my thinking reversed, since property files seem to be a convenient place for configuring things like ports.

I will adjust the brain and continue.
