Retrieving data using Grails Domain returns with a Class Key by default - grails

Question

I'm working with a Grails query service and I'm using these the code blocks to retrieve database rows via a domain class.
adjustmentCodeList = AdjustmentCode.findAll {
or {
ilike('description', "%$filterText%")
like('id', "%$filterText%")
}
}
adjustmentCodeList = AdjustmentCode.list()
adjustmentCodeList = AdjustmentCode.list(max: count, offset: from)
It works fine actually, but there is a little problem though. It returns the following list (some sensitive data are omitted):
[
{
"class": "rvms.maintenance.AdjustmentCode",
"id": ...,
"description": ...,
"lastUpdateBy": ...,
"lastUpdateDate": ...,
"status": ...,
"statusDate": ...,
"type": ...
},
{
"class": "rvms.maintenance.AdjustmentCode",
"id": ...,
"description": ...,
"lastUpdateBy": ...,
"lastUpdateDate": ...,
"status": ...,
"statusDate": ...,
"type": ...
},
...
{
"class": "rvms.maintenance.AdjustmentCode",
"id": ...,
"description": ...,
"lastUpdateBy": ...,
"lastUpdateDate": ...,
"status": ...,
"statusDate": ...,
"type": ...
}
]
It includes the domain class name. How can I remove the class key using some config? My current solution is to manually remove the class key from the list by iterating it inside a loop, removing that key one at a time. But maybe... there is another Grails-ly way.
If you want to see the domain, it looks like this:
package rvms.maintenance
import grails.util.Holders
import groovy.sql.Sql
import oracle.jdbc.OracleTypes
import java.sql.Connection
class AdjustmentCode implements Serializable {
String id
String description
String type
String status
Date statusDate
String lastUpdateBy
Date lastUpdateDate
static mapping = {
table '...'
version false
id column : '...'
description column : '...'
type column : '...'
status column : '...'
statusDate column : '...'
lastUpdateBy column : '...'
lastUpdateDate column : '...'
}
Map getAdjustmentCodeValues() {
Map values = [];
values << [id: this.getId()]
values << [description: this.getDescription()]
values << [type: this.getType()]
values << [status: this.getStatus()]
values << [statusDate: this.getStatusDate()]
values << [lastUpdateBy: this.getLastUpdateBy()]
values << [lastUpdateDate: this.getLastUpdateDate()]
return values
}
}

The Grails way to accomplish this is to customize the marshaller. I've explained how to do this with named marshallers in this answer and the same concept applies to your case as well (minus the named portion).
