The way it is implemented, if your functions are in the "grails" namespace then they are callable without any special syntax, like this... clj.some_clojure_function() To access a function in any other namespace you must be explicit about the namespace, like this... clj['someNamespace'].some_clojure_function() I think that this encourages folks to do the right thing (define a namespace). I may make the default namespace configurable so it doesn't have to be "grails". For those who haven't seen it, there is a very short movie linked from http://grails.org/plugin/clojure that shows how the Clojure integration works in Grails. jb -- Jeff Brown SpringSource http://www.springsource.com/ Autism Strikes 1 in 166 Find The Cause ~ Find The Cure http://www.autismspeaks.org/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
