I have a problem where isDirty isn't recognizing that an object has changed, even though I can see very clearly via a debugger that it has. I'd like to take a look at the source, but I can't seem to track the source down, and the debugger won't step into it (I assume because it's handled through some sort of AST magic).
I checked out git-core, but "find . -type f | xargs grep -il isDirty" yields no results.
Where can I track this code down?
The ASTs wire in the methods from GormInstanceApi (and GormStaticApi, GormValidationApi, etc.) and individual GORM implementations may subclass those (currently only the Hibernate implementations do).
For example, the Hibernate 3 implementation is here and the Hibernate 4 implementation is in class of the same name in the grails-datastore-gorm-hibernate4 project (most of the Hibernate code is in the grails-datastore-gorm-hibernate-core project, but due to changed interfaces some is in the two top-level projects).
