Inject bean map into Grails Service

Question

A spring bean can be injected in a Grails application using resources.groovy. However, I would like to inject a map of beans. Key would be String, Value would an actual bean. Idea is I am trying to do a strategy style pattern where there would be a look up to a map and a corresponding bean service invoked?

Is that possible - thanks.

What have you tried? Have you tried `def mymap = [:]` then adding to it `mymap['key'] = ref('someBeanA')` then setting the property on your service in `Resources.groovy`? What didn't work about that? (Hint: it should work). — Joshua Moore, Jul 08 '15 at 12:46
where those beans should be defined in the 1st place? some code would definitely help — injecteer, Jul 08 '15 at 16:13

I had similar issue, but I wanted to inject a list of beans. This example works:

bean1(Bean1) {}

bean2(Bean2) {}

beansHolder (BeansHolder ) {
    beans = [bean1, bean2]
}

I think you can do the same for a map:

    beans = ['first': bean1, 'second': bean2]
