Dynamic date REST parameter?

Is there any way to define a REST parameter that will automatically take like tomorrow's date?   I tried this, but don't know what's really possible or what the syntax would be for more complicated...

    Or, this seemed to give the next days date and could be inserted as a REST parameter:

     

    ${=def now = new Date();now++;now.format("yy-MM-dd")}

Beauty, that does it. I think one key miss with my attempt was the "def" keyword.

 

Presumably that's a Groovy thing. Of Groovy I know pretty much only what looks exactly like Java :-)

 

Also suprised that Date++ is even possible!

 

Finally, is there any way to know which classes don't require full package qualification?

    Cool, glad it worked! :-)

     

    Yeah, Groovy can be pretty slick!

     

    In terms of the default Groovy imports, please see:

    java.lang and java.util packages do not require an explicit import while using them in groovy.
