Check property is present by property name

Question

I want to check is a string contains the name of a valid property of one of my entity class.

I've figured several keys but at the end i've been unable to make them work and even not sure what it the best practice to do this.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Finally i decided to go with

MyClass.metaClass.properties.find { it.name == params.searchedColName }

I think is little better solution than @Andrew von Dollen proposal since i avoid playing with the spring context ... feel that is more groovier this way.
