Q: How do I get access to the application context from sources in src/groovy?

There is no ApplicationContextHolder class equivalent to ApplicationHolder. To access to a service class called EmailService from a Groovy class in src/groovy, access the Spring bean using:

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.context.ServletContextHolder as SCH
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.GrailsApplicationAttributes as GA
def ctx = SCH.servletContext.getAttribute(GA.APPLICATION_CONTEXT)
def emailService = ctx.emailService

In 1.1 this is simpler:

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ApplicationHolder as AH
def ctx = AH.application.mainContext
def emailService = ctx.emailService
