We notices after the update from Grails 3.1.11 to 3.2.0 that one action of a controller is no longer working:
#Transactional(readOnly = true)
class RoomPlanController {
...
def show(RoomPlan roomPlan) {
...
}
def getRooms(RoomPlan roomPlan) {
...
}
}
The problem is that when we call roomPlan/getRooms/1 roomPlan is null. If we call the show action with the same parameter roomPlan is set correct.
A call of getErrors() inside the controller gives us the following error message:
Could not obtain current Hibernate Session; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread
which has it's origin from grails.artefact.Controller.initializeCommandObject. After some more debugging I noticed a difference in the stacktrace between show and getRooms
Stacktrace of show:
show:100, RoomPlanController (at.byte_code.businessSuite.hotel)
$tt__show:-1, RoomPlanController (at.byte_code.businessSuite.hotel)
doCall:-1, RoomPlanController$_show_closure13 (at.byte_code.businessSuite.hotel)
invoke0:-1, NativeMethodAccessorImpl (sun.reflect)
Stacktrace of getRooms:
getRooms:109, RoomPlanController (at.byte_code.businessSuite.hotel)
getRooms:-1, RoomPlanController (at.byte_code.businessSuite.hotel)
invoke0:-1, NativeMethodAccessorImpl (sun.reflect)
The error message and the different stacktrace let us assume it has something to do with the database session/transaction and after adding #Transactional(readOnly = true) to the action everything work as expected and before the update to grails 3.2.0. If we remove the annotation and fails again.
We were not able see the issue in any other controller and were not able to reproduce it in a small test project. We already tried to rebuild the project, also on a completely new workstation we were not.
Did anybody else observed such an issue?
I don't think you would even need #Transactional(readOnly = true) in controller.
Grails controllers are by default readOnly. You can simply delete the annotation from the controller.
In contrast, Grails service class are transactional by default. If you need to call the save() method, it's more desirable to call that method in the service class.

When I do custom rejectValue in a service method grails loses that error(s) between service method and return to controller. This seems to happen when updating a row instance, but not when creating one.
In service
def specialValidation(petInstance){
if(petInstance.petType.requiresStateId && !petInstance.StateId){
petInstance.errors.rejectValue('StateId','StateId required');
}
println petInstance.errors //shows 1 error
return petInstance;
}
In controller
...
petInstance.properties=params;
petInstance=petService.specialValidation(petInstance);
println petInstance.errors //shows 0 errors
How is the error being lost when the instance changes hands from service to controller?
It can be because of transactional service. Service opens separate transaction for each method and clears entities after method end. You can find this mentioned in docs(read the last paragraph of part )
I had the same problem. Than I've added NotTransactional annotation to validation method, and it helped. Errors were saved.
Well I did something simular :
orderService.validate(order, params)
if (order.hasErrors()) {
return render(view: 'create', model: [order: order])
}
In the Service I do some validation like this:
if (end.before(start)) {
order.errors.rejectValue("end", '', 'ERROR');
}
The different to yours is that i didn't set the errorCode but the message at itself, have a look at the rejectValue Methods:
void rejectValue(String field, String errorCode);
void rejectValue(String field, String errorCode, String defaultMessage);
You could also try to use the rejectValue method like me, maybe it helps.
I found you can also avoid this by using
MyDomain.read(id)
instead of
MyDomain.get(id)
Updated post:
In a Controller if I do this:
def obj = new Test(name:"lol")
obj.save(flush:true)
obj.name = "lol2"
//a singleton service with nothing to do with obj
testService.dostuff()
/*
"obj" gets persisted to the database right here
even before the next println
*/
println "done"
Can anyone please explain me why is this happening with Grails 1.3.7 and not with Grails 2? What is the reason?
I know I could use discard() and basically restructure the code but I am interested in what and why is happening behind the scenes. Thanks!
Old post:
I have a test Grails application. I have one domain class test.Test:
package test
class Test {
String name
static constraints = {}
}
Also I have a service test.TestService:
package test
class TestService {
static scope = "singleton"
static transactional = true
def dostuff() {
println "test service was called"
}
}
And one controller test.TestController:
package test
class TestController {
def testService
def index = {
def obj = new Test(name:"lol")
obj.save(flush:true)
obj.name = "lol2"
testService.dostuff()
println "done"
}
}
So what I do:
Create a domain object
Change one of it's properties
Call a singleton service method
What I would expect:
Nothing gets persisted to the db unless I call obj.save()
What happens instead:
Right after the service call Grails will do an update query to the database.
I have tried the following configuration from this url: http://grails.1312388.n4.nabble.com/Turn-off-autosave-in-gorm-td1378113.html
hibernate.flush.mode="manual"
But it didn't help.
I have tested it with Grails 1.3.7, Grails 2.0.3 does not have this issue.
Could anyone please give me a bit more information on what is exactly going on? It seems like the current session has to be terminated because of the service call and because the object is dirty it is getting automatically persisted to the database after the service call. What I don't understand that even with the manual flush mode configuration in Hibernate does not help.
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure what about that thread you linked to made you think it would work. They all said it wouldn't work, the ticket created has been closed as won't fix. The solution here is to use discard() as the thread stated.
I am trying to do a safe insert using GORM for Mongo's low-level API.
I have reproduced the problem in a clean Grails project like follows:
Create a new Grails project
Uninstall the Hibernate plugin
Install the GORM for Mongo plugin
Create a controller with the following action
import com.mongodb.*
class TestController {
def mongo
def index = {
def database = mongo.getDB("ExampleDatabase")
def collection = database.getCollection("ExampleCollection")
def document = new BasicDBObject();
document.put("key", "value")
collection.insert(document, WriteConcern.SAFE)
render ""
}
}
When firing the action, the following exception is thrown:
2011-07-27 12:53:03,161 [http-8080-1] ERROR errors.GrailsExceptionResolver - Exception occurred when processing request: [GET] /WriteConcern.SAFE-test/test/index
Stacktrace follows:
groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: value for class: com.mongodb.WriteConcern
at com.gmongo.internal.Patcher$__converAllCharSeqToString_closure2.doCall(Patcher.groovy:81)
at com.gmongo.internal.Patcher._converAllCharSeqToString(Patcher.groovy:80)

at writeconcern.safe.test.TestController$_closure1.doCall(TestController.groovy)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680)
If I change the action to use the Mongo Java API as follows:
def index = {
def database = new Mongo().getDB("ExampleDatabase")
def collection = database.getCollection("ExampleCollection")
def document = new BasicDBObject();
document.put("key", "value")
collection.insert(document, WriteConcern.SAFE)
render ""
}
Now it works and the document is persisted to the Mongo database as expected.
My question is this: Is this a bug with the GMongo wrapper, or then how should safe writes be done using the low level API?
This appears due to the GMongo library and how it patches the DBCollection object to handle passing of Map objects to the insert method and converts them. It assumes that all of the arguments of the insert method are Map objects and will then try to get the value property from the Map.Entry.
Looking at the source of Patcher.groovy from GMongo library you'll see the function _convert() that attempts to do this. It looks like a fork of the Github project with type check on the argument (either to see if it's a WriteConcern or to check if it's actually a Map before passing to the _converAllCharSeqToString) is necessary.
EDIT:
I created a pull request on Github for the appropriate code change, but as with all things Groovy, patching the class can also help. You can "patch" the WriteConcern class in your BootStrap.groovy to have a getValue method and that will allow you to pass the parameter in:
def init = { servletContext ->
com.mongodb.WriteConcern.metaClass.getValue = { null }
}
I have been struggling with this error for a week now, and I am seriously losing my mind over this! I have tried multible implementations and work-arounds and hacks and what not, but I just keep stubling into just another exception.
I am using the Executor plugin to run a method asynchroniously:
runAsync{
run(...)
}
The method initially deletes some objects:
page.delete(flush:true)
And then later possibly recreating those objects:
def page = new Page(type : Page.TYPE_TABLE, domain : domainVersion.domain, identifier : tableName)
page.save(flush: true, failOnError: true)
But that fails with the following exception:
Caused by: org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session: [com.ramboll.egs.ohs.domain.Domain#1]
The relationship between the Page and Domain is simply implemented by Page having a Domain attribute. No hasMany og belongsTo - as I was discouraged from this in an earlier post due to performance issues.
I think I have tried all thinkable combinations of save, merge, withTransachtion and PersistenceContextInterceptor...
How is this supposed to work? Examples please.
Thanks in advance!
It doesn't appear that working in a new thread is the issue, it looks like a standard validation problem. It's saying that the Page is null, which indicates a validation error since save() returns the instance if it was successful, or null if there's a one or more validation errors. There are a few options:
def page = new Page(type : Page.TYPE_TABLE,
domain: dbUpdate.domainVersion.domain, identifier: tableName)
page.save(flush:true)
if (page.hasErrors()) {
// handle errors
}
else {
def pageVersion = createPageVersion(page, dbUpdate.domainVersion,
con, tableName, dbUpdate.author).save(flush:true)
}
or use failOnError to throw an exception:
def page = new Page(type : Page.TYPE_TABLE, identifier: tableName,
domain: dbUpdate.domainVersion.domain).save(flush:true, failOnError: true)
def pageVersion = createPageVersion(page, dbUpdate.domainVersion,
con, tableName, dbUpdate.author).save(flush:true)
I try to execute raw SQL in Grails with this code:
class PlainSqlService {
def dataSource // the Spring-Bean "dataSource" is auto-injected
def newNum = {
def sql = new Sql(dataSource) // Create a new instance of groovy.sql.Sql with the DB of the Grails app
def q = "SELECT a.xaction_id, a.xdin FROM actions a WHERE a.is_approved = 0"
def result = sql.rows(q) // Perform the query
return result
}
}
But I get this exception at runtime.
sql object is not null!
How can I debug it?

It's hard to tell what's going on from the limited code you're providing, but there are some things to check. Is the service injected into the controller with a class-scope field "def plainSqlService" like you have here for the dataSource, or are you calling new PlainSqlService()? If you're creating a new instance then the dataSource bean won't be injected and the groovy.sql.Sql constructor won't fail, but queries will.
One thing to try is grails clean - whenever something like this that should work doesn't, a full recompile often helps.
One important but unrelated point - you should never use Closures in services. Controllers and taglibs require that actions and tags be implemented with a Closure, but a Service is just a Spring bean defined in Groovy. Spring knows nothing about Closures and since they're just a field that Groovy executes as if it were a method, any proxying that you're expecting from Spring (in particular transactional behavior, but also security and other features) will not happen since Spring only looks for methods.
So newNum should be declared as:
def newNum() {
...
}
