Grails: Connection is read-only. Queries leading to data modification are not allowed
As per my current project structure, I need to maintain multiple databases and user can access data from them.
For this I have used grails 2.3.5 and sharding plugin(http://grails.org/plugin/sharding).
As user can access data from multiple databases at a time, I have to change the shard for logged in user many times. While doing that I am facing below mentioned problem randomly:
Here is the stack trace:

Has anyone faced this kind of situation?
Help would be much appreciated.
Answer
Grails 2.3.x appears to generate @Transactional(readOnly = true) at the top of the controller classes and includes @Transactional on save(), update(), and delete() controller methods (which need a transaction). If you add another method that needs a transaction, then you should include the @Transactional annotation on that method. I didn't realize that these annotations were on the controller and I had used a Service so I thought it would be transactional by default. It took me a while to realize that the service would not be transactional if I didn't include @Transaction on the controller.
