Grais listing based on embedded date field not working - grails

Question

I'm new to grails and trying to get a list of Domain based on Embedded class's date field.
Below are Working fine
def res = User.findAll { lt 'createdDateTime', new Date }
def res = User.findAll { eq 'account.name', 'JOHN' }
But,
def res = User.findAll { lt 'account.createdDateTime', new Date }
the above always return empty list.
'Account' class is embedded into User class
User.groovy
class User {
String name
Integer age
Date ctratedDateTime // test
Account account
static embedded = [
'account'
]
}
Account.groovy
class Account {
String userName
String password
Date createdDateTime
}
def res = User.findAll {
account{
lt 'createdDateTime', new Date
}
}
For above getting the following error
org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.mvc.exceptions.ControllerExecutionException: Executing action [list] of controller [com.test.UserController] caused exception: Runtime error executing action

Am I doing in a correct way? Please suggest me the way to resolve.

Answer 1

you should use a nested closure:
def res = User.withCriteria{
account{
lt 'createdDateTime', new Date
}
}
