Convert Xml config to resource.groovy - grails

Question

I am new to grails and i want to convert xml configuration to resource.groovy. but there are namespaces in xml. i don't want to duplicate config here.there should be one configuration which would be resource.groovy
my xml is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:util="http://www.springframework.org/schema/util"

<!-- put in more config parameters here, http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/ha-configuration.html -->
</util:map>
<bean id="graphDbFactory"
class="org.neo4j.graphdb.factory.HighlyAvailableGraphDatabaseFactory" />
<bean id="graphDbBuilder" factory-bean="graphDbFactory"
factory-method="newHighlyAvailableDatabaseBuilder">
<constructor-arg value="/home/alok/Desktop/data4" />
</bean>
<bean id="graphDbBuilderFinal" factory-bean="graphDbBuilder"
factory-method="setConfig">
<constructor-arg ref="config" />
</bean>
<bean id="graphDatabaseService" factory-bean="graphDbBuilderFinal"
factory-method="newGraphDatabase" destroy-method="shutdown" />
<neo4j:config graphDatabaseService="graphDatabaseService" base-package="neo4j"/>
<neo4j:repositories base-package="neo4j" />
</beans>
I want to know how there i have to handle namespaces and constructor-arguments

Answer 1

You really have two questions here, but let's answer both of them.
How do you use name spaces in resources.groovy?
Here is how:
// resources.groovy
beans {
xmlns neo4j:"http://www.springframework.org/schema/data/neo4j"
xmlns context:"http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
... // and so on.
// neo4j.repositories
}
How do you use constructor-arguments in resources.groovy?
Here is how:
// resources.groovy
beans {
someBean(
SomeBeanClass,
'stringArg1',
['listOfStringsArg2', 'listOfStringArg2-a'],
ref('someOtherBeanAsArg3')
)
}
