title: Rendering a GSP from a Quartz job in Grails
body: <p>I have a quartz job that needs to render a GSP, when I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def g = new org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.web.taglib.ApplicationTagLib()
  def text = g.render(template: "/templates/myTemplate",
            model: [language: language,
                    product: product])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I received the following exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>org.quartz.JobExecutionException: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread?

  <p>Using Grails 1.3.2. Any ideas on what I can do to get this working? 
  EDIT: It's a current limitation with Grails <a href="http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-3818" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-3818</a></p>
