How can I access a domain property using the property name?

Question

I have a domain object with a property called date:

class Item implements Comparable{
  Date date
}

How can I access that date doing something like:

Item.list().each{
  Date d = it.get("date")
}

I know that I could do Date d = it.date but I want to be able to generically pick a property from my domain object and access it without using .property.

Try this..,.

Item.list().each {
    Date d = it.properties.get("date")
}

or

Item.list().each {
    Date d = it.getProperty("date")
}
