I am using Nimble and Shiro for my security frameworks and I've just come accross a GORM bug. Indeed :
User.createCriteria().list {
maxResults 10
}
returns 10 users whereas User.list(max: 10)
returns 9 users !
After further investigations, I found out that createCriteria
returns twice the same user (admin) because admin has 2 roles!!! (I am not joking).
It appears that any user with more than 1 role will be returned twice in the createCriteria
call and User.list
will return max-1
instances (i.e 9 users instead of 10 users)
What workaround can I use in order to have 10 unique users returned ?
This is a very annoying because I have no way to use pagination correctly.
My domain classes are:
class UserBase {
String username
static belongsTo = [Role, Group]
static hasMany = [roles: Role, groups: Group]
static fetchMode = [roles: 'eager', groups: 'eager']
static mapping = {
roles cache: true,
cascade: 'none',
cache usage: 'read-write', include: 'all'
}
}
class User extends UserBase {
static mapping = {cache: 'read-write'}
}
class Role {
static hasMany = [users: UserBase, groups: Group]
static belongsTo = [Group]
static mapping = { cache usage: 'read-write', include: 'all'
users cache: true
groups cache: true
}
}
Less concise and clear, but using an HQL query seems a way to solve this problem. As described in the Grails documentation (executeQuery section) the paginate parameters can be added as extra parameters to executeQuery.
User.executeQuery("select distinct user from User user", [max: 2, offset: 2])
