Question

A strange problem occuring in this snippet:

class FooController {

  def barService

  def update = {
    log.debug("I'm getting executed")
    barService.doFoo()
    render "Done"
  }
}

When I now enter http://my.domain.tld/fancyapp/foo/update in a browser (Firefox in my case), the code in update is executed three times.

EDIT 1: barService.doFoo() contains heavy calculations, so it takes quite long to finish.

EDIT 2: @hvgotcodes: no, sorry, no authentication and my UrlMappings.groovy looks like this:

class UrlMappings {
  static mappings = {
    "/$controller/$action?/$id?"{
      constraints {
        // apply constraints here
      }
    }
    "/"(view:"/index")
    "500"(view:'/error')
  }
}

@Jarred: No, only the usual suspects Bootstrap.groovy, BuildConfig.groovy, Config.groovy, DataSource.groovy and UrlMappings.groovy.

Hints anyone?

Answer 1

If the request takes too long the browser may retry the request. If you can improve the performance of your doFoo() method it should only execute once.
