Telling GORM not to persist a property

Question

Is there a way of telling GORM not to persist a property? I'm planning to define a confirm password property on my User class that I'll use for validation, but shouldn't be persisted.

Answer 1

Using transient key word GORM can be directed not to persist specific property.

Following code snippets shows the use of transient proerties

class Book {
  static transients = [ "digitalCopy" ]

  static constraints = {
    releaseDate(nullable: true)
  }    

  String author
  String title
  Date releaseDate
  File digitalCopy
}

digitalCopy property included in transient declaration notifies GORM not to persist digitalCopy
