Wiring spring beans through custom reporting context in grails - spring

Question

I am using Jasper Reports for my Grails based web application and I have a ReportingContext.xml which has beans for each report like report id/name mapping with the report template (jrxml). I need to know the basic steps to configure and setup the context xmls and how to load them into my reportscontroller at application startup.
The old application was in java/j2ee which used this reporting xml. We have to develop a similar system on grails.
Most of the context contains the jrxml to report name mapping but I am not able to understand some of the beans in the context.
Here is the sample content of the reporting context.xml , for 1 report
<beans>

Add dependencies to grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy
Copy the above file to /grails-app/conf/spring/resources.xml
Read Grails and Spring - Reference Documentation
The resources.xml is not built by default anymore, as only resources.groovy exists in the spring dir. Just copy your spring context file to resources.xml.
