scope
Purpose
Changes the scope of a controller
Examples
class BookController { static scope = "session" // …
}Description
By default controllers are "prototype" scoped which means that a new controller will be created for each request. This behaviour can be changed by specifying a
scope attribute with on the following values:
prototype (default) - A new controller will be created for each request (recommended for actions as Closure properties)
session - One controller is created for the scope of a user session
singleton - Only one instance of the controller ever exists (recommended for actions as methods)

Controllers and Scopes in the user guide for more information.
