Hi All,
I tried to use beforeInsert on a domain class for the first time
today, following an example like the one in the docs:
class Person {
Date dateCreated
def beforeInsert = {
dateCreated = new Date()
}
}
... my assignment is different of course but the same principle. All
fine except... this is called after validate() so this is not useful
at all if you have any "required" constraints on the properties.
You could work around it by assigning some non-null value at init time
to the property so it survives validation.
However this implies that validation is either being performed twice -
before the calls to events and again after, or only once before
calling events, in which case events can bypass constraints and hence
introduce bugs.
Anybody got any views on this?
I would have thought that the events have to occur before validation,
always.
