Question

Another newbie issue. I have a situation where I have to assign a value to domain class property in groovy.

The code is

cf.”$it.key” = it.value

the property type for cf.”$it.key” can be Integer, Long or String – but it.value is always a String. I have seen that when cf.”$it.key” is Integer or Long, groovy converts it.value to ascii value( for example if it.value is “6”, cf.”$it.key” becomes 54, when it is “7”, it becomes 55 and so on). As of now, I have resolved the issue by introducing check methods as shown below. But was wondering if there is a better solution to the problem.

              if (it.value.isInteger()){
                  cf."$it.key" = new Integer(it.value)
              }
              else if (it.value.isLong()){
                  cf."$it.key" = new Long(it.value)
              }

Thanks

Assuming you’re iterating through a map,you should be able to use bindData, i.e.

bindData( cf, map )

Make sure you read that section of the docs though, as there are security implications
