@jdaugherty Thank you for the response. I can use the code in that example to get started. If I can sort it out, I may try to cobble together that configuration class and all the necessary dependencies into a GSP-specific Spring Boot "starter" which I could contribute back as a one-shot dependency?
(I realize I'm a bit in left field with this. I'm mostly experimenting to see just how close a Spring Boot app can be made to a Grails app. With groovy being supported in Spring Boot, and the similaities between their Data Services, it's very close.)
