Question

How can i use “%” in criteria-like statements in this example:

def c = Shop.createCriteria()
def results = c.list {
    like("name", "Harrods")

def aha = params.name
    like("store.name", %aha%) ##
}

The “%aha%” part doesnt work. but it does work if i do “%ola%”. So how to solve the problem ?

Or in addiction, instead of “%aha”, how can i use criteria builder using ‘contains’ groovy method instead of like?

Answer 1

replace the following

%aha%

with

 "%${aha}%"
