How to read messages from message.properties in config.groovy

Question

I dont want to hardcode the 'training.defaultStartTime' value in config.groovy Instead I have to read it from message.properties, The result will be like this

In message.properties

dev.training.defaultStartTime = 09:00
prod.training.defaultStartTime = 10:00

In config.groovy

  environments {
        development {
            training.defaultStartTime = message of  code 'dev.training.defaultStartTime' in message.properties 

        }
        production {
            training.defaultStartTime = message of code 'prod.training.defaultStartTime' in message.properties 
        }
    }

Why hardcode it in message.properties rather than config.groovy? — tim_yates, Jul 25 '12 at 08:10
For the internationalization purpose, I want to use message.properties.I have many default values which are different for different countries — n92, Jul 25 '12 at 08:14
But those will be loaded on application startup, and will not relate to the location of the user viewing the site... — tim_yates, Jul 25 '12 at 08:16

Just want to read it? If you want to display it in a gsp, use <g:message code="dev.training.defaultStartTime"/>, (you can find some useful stuff about it here).

If you're in a controller and want to use it there, go with:

message(code: 'dev.training.defaultStartTime')
