Declaring booleans in a domain class without appearing in database

I have some booleans that are used throughout my grails project (services & controllers, etc) so they are declared in my domain class but I do not want them appearing in the table in the database. Instead of declearing them Boolean I tried Def but this isn't working. Is there a way to do this?

Solution

  • If you want to have a property of a domain class that does not get stored in the database then use transients.

    Here is a simple example:

    class Thing {
   String name
   boolean flag
   boolean anotherFlag
   static transients = ['flag', 'anotherFlag']
}
