I make a simple domain class

class Meetings {

    Date when
    String where
}

Then I run 'generate-all' on Meetings. I then start the app 'RunApp'. In the app I'm able to to choose the month, day, and year for the when variable, however I can't choose the time as in hours:minutes (example 7:30). I wouldn't expect to be able to do this, but if I save the date it formats it as month, day, year, and then -00:00:00. How do I set the time using the date variable? or is there another way?

If you are using the datepicker tag in grails, it is pretty straight forward. In the views folder under a domain class folder there is _form.gsp. Inside _form.gsp is a date picker tag.

<g:datePicker name="dateTimeVariableName" value="${dateTimeValue}"
          default="${new Date().clearTime()}" precision="minute"/>

The keyword here is precision.

You should check the documentation. Its always a good idea. Hope this helps.

    I've seen this, but I don't think this is what I'm looking for. I was looking for a domain class way, so I don't have to fight everything I'm trying to do. – College Now App Group Apr 11 '15 at 18:18
  • I'm not sure how to use this. It makes you able to select the time and date like I want, but I can't get it to save to the database through gorm. – College Now App Group Apr 11 '15 at 18:37
  • @College Now App Group Well, the params.dateTimeVariable would hold the whole value. However, you can access the values individually. Just print out the parameters and you know what I mean. ` new Date(params.dateTimeVariable)` should do the trick. You can use clearTime to clear the time values if needed. – vivwilfer Apr 12 '15 at 23:07
  • Thanks this worked +1 . I just didn't know where it was located in _form.gsp I was using the create or show.gsp. Now I just need to figure out how to format it when it displays in show. – College Now App Group Apr 13 '15 at 05:09
