Grails functional test - DB setup/teardown, running as JUnit in Eclipse

I am running Geb functional tests in my Grails app through Eclipse "Run As JUnit..."

This normally works great and allows me to keep my test server running with grails run-app, and I get fast test execution times.

However, it doesn't allow me to use GORM domain objects in my setup/teardown methods. Those only work if I run with grails test-app, which requires a much longer cycle time.

Is there another way I can access the DB from my functional tests without GORM? I would be perfectly OK accessing the DB directly through the groovy.Sql class, as long as I don't have to duplicate configuration.

The question you linked to in your comment actually does contain a solution in this answer - you should use Grails Remote Control plugin to change the state of your application under test from your functional tests. Some reasons why are outlined in this answer to another question.
