I cite from mybatis plugin documentation:
"When working with MyBatis plugin your "Domain" classes should be
located in src/groovy and not in grails-app/domain. This is necessary
to avoid conflict with GROM since MyBatis plugin can coexist with
existing GORM Domain classes."
So where should the validation and constraints be located, when I want to use grails with MyBatis plugin ?
You can add a #Validateable annotation to any Groovy class in Grails, and you will be able to validate it... The Plugin currently doesn't check for any validation errors so you will have to implement that code yourself.
From official Grails documentation:
Classes which define the static constraints property and are annotated
with #Validateable can be made validateable by the framework
http://grails.org/doc/2.1.0/guide/validation.html#validationNonDomainAndCommandObjectClasses
You could even write a custom MyBatis Interceptor (see https://github.com/fzilic/Grails-MyBatis/blob/master/src/groovy/org/grails/plugins/mybatis/locking/OptimisticLockingInterceptor.groovy) and register it after the SqlSession is created...
Currently the MyBatis plugin doesn't support registering custom Interceptors in it's configuration, but they could be added to the interceptor chain
def factory = GrailsApplication.mainContext.getBean("sqlSessionFactoryBean_dataSource")
factory.configuration.interceptorChain.addInterceptor(Interceptor)
Support for this might be added in future versions.

I want to migrate an application from grails 2.4.4 to grails 3.3.9.
As the structure of the conf directory in grails 2.x is completely different from 3.x, there is no config.groovy in 3.x anymore. In config.groovy of 2.x I used to define lists of constants for my select boxes like:
metals=['au','ag','pl']
and I accessed them via
static List getMetals() {
grails.util.Holders.config.metals
}
in my groovy code.
What is the corresponding way in 3.x?
I would start by checking out the upgrade guides:
http://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/upgrading.html
http://docs.grails.org/3.2.0/guide/upgrading.html#upgrading2x
config.groovy, by default becomes application.yml, but you can convert that to application.groovy, and there is a script in the external config plugin that will help with that:
http://plugins.grails.org/plugin/grails/external-config
In general it is conserdered back practice to use the holders, it would be better to use either an injected bean/service
GrailsApplication grailsApplication
grailsApplication.config.etc
Or wire in a bean using resources. The only reason to use holders is in another object that is outside of grails, that for some reason, you can't wire up as a bean. In that cases there is now a Holders class, that you can get the config from. Here's some other ways to get at the config from an OCI blog:

i want to customize RegistrationCode domain class without changing the ui plugin but i don't find it in s2ui override.
For precision it to include multi tenant for registrated user by tenant
You do this the same way as you would for any artifact in a plugin - create your application class with the same name and package under grails-app and yours will override the one from the plugin.
This works because Grails orders the sources for the classloader(s) with the application's classes before the plugins' classes, so if a class is found from the application it will be loaded and the plugin's corresponding class will be ignored.
I'm attempting to write a plugin for Grails that will automatically generate my domain classes based on special views that we're designing in our legacy database. I basically just want to save myself some time manually writing all the mapping stuff required to make the domain classes work.
Do I have access to the dataSource defined in the application.yml of the project from a custom ApplicationCommand implementation? If so, how do I pull it so I can open my connection to the database?
I found the answer here. The dataSource bean that is injected into regular artefacts can be accessed through the ApplicationContext like this:
def dataSource = applicationContext.getBean('dataSource')
I have multiple plugins with Grails domain classes that are stored in separate databases. I want to be able to configure within the dependent project what sources each class comes from. It seems like a similar question is here:
Grails changing datasource at runtime
Is it still not possible to add additionaly sources to a class at runtime? And, I don't necessarily need to do it at runtime either. Just configure the class in the dependent Grails application. The method for setting this up (http://www.grails.org/doc/2.2.1/guide/conf.html#multipleDatasources) requires direct access to the class definitions, and I'd rather avoid having to do that.
Plugins in Grails are great method to modularise an application.The documentation suggest to override the artifacts from the plugin in the application, which uses this plugin.
Is it realy the best approach?
Let's describe it by example: There is a domain class "org.User" defined in the plugin. The application overrides this domain class. If I use "grails run-app" then there are no warnings and it works. But Eclipse (GGTS) complains about "Invalid duplicate class definition of class org.User". For some developers it wouldn't matter, but I like the IDE helping on coding by stuf like "autocomplete".
At the end both classes are compiled an put on the java class loader. The application version of the class is loaded before the version of the plugin. The class resolver finds it first and that's why it works. Please correct me if I'm wrong at this point. Is it realy a good idea to have two versions of a class in one class loader?
What are the alternatives?
You can do like Spring Security Core plugin does, provide the User class as a template, so your application that use this plugin can choose between creating his own class or installing your default User class.
The plugin user template is here, and the script responsible to create this in the application is here.
You will need also a config value to know the class to use, and use it dynamic.
P.S: there are good security plugins like Shiro and Spring Security, maybe it's easier to check them instead of create your own.
