Question

I found something strange in Grails.

I create an object like:

User a = new User()
a.setName("test")
a.save()

after that I call a Method e.g. setActive like:

a.setActive(true)

and DON’T call save() but it is saved in the database. I don’t know why?! I think this is dangerous. Any suggestions on this?

Thanks a lot,

Marco

After execution of service methods (in case of transactional = true) grails save all changes with domain/persist objects and flush hibernate session.
The same behaviour of Redirect in controller action.
To rollback changes – throw RuntimeException.
