After migrating from Grails 1.3.7 to 2.0.4 I have noticed a problem with one of my domain classes where I use transient properties in order to handle passwords.
My domain class looks like this (simplified):
package test
class User {
String email
String password1
String password2
//ShiroUser shiroUser
static constraints = {
email(email:true, nullable:false, unique:true)
password1(nullable:true,size:5..30, blank: false, validator: {password, obj ->
if(password==null && !obj.properties['id']){
return ['no.password']
}
else return true
})
password2(nullable:true, blank: false, validator: {password, obj ->
def password1 = obj.properties['password1']
if(password == null && !obj.properties['id']){
return ['no.password']
}
else{
password == password1 ? true : ['invalid.matching.passwords']
}
})
}
static transients = ['password1','password2']
}
In 1.3.7 this used to work in my Bootstrap:
def user1= new User (email: "test@test.com", password1: "123456", password2: "123456")
user1.save()
However, in Grails 2.0.x this will result in error stating that password1 and password2 are both null. The same thing happens in my controllers if I try to do:
def user2= new User (params)// params include email,password1 and password2
In order to make it work I have to do the following workaround:
def user2= new User (params)// params include email,password1 and password2
user2.password1=params.password1
user2.password2=params.password2
user2.save()
This is quite ugly - and annoying.
Can anyone say if my usage of transients has become invalid in grails 2.x, or if this could be a framework bug of some kind?
