Reloading bootstrap with Grails

Is there a way in Grails to run the contents of BootStrap.groovy after it has been changed without restarting the app?

You can do this with the console plugin. I'd highly recommend this plugin for any development environment because it's so useful for running ad-hoc code inside a running server.

To rerun your BootStrap init closure, browse to the web-based console at http://localhost:8080/appname/console. Enter the following in the console:

def servletCtx = org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.context.ServletContextHolder.servletContext
def myBootstrapArtefact = grailsApplication.getArtefacts('Bootstrap')[-1]
myBootstrapArtefact.referenceInstance.init(servletCtx)
