Grails and DAO layer concept

Question

I'm using grails with GORM.

I'm kinda confused with grails : I can't find simple example where it's explained how to reuse queries via a DAO layer.

Is the concept of dao layer not present in grails ? How to reuse queries between services ? What is the best practice in grails ? Named queries ? Or else ?

2. To reuse common partial queries or decompose the complex logic, use named queries and chain them together as required, just like one commonly chains jQuery function calls.
