Grails getter in Domain Class

Sometimes you need to define a getter in a domain class, for example when you want to concatenate persistent properties. But if you declare something like:

String getSomeValue(){

return aProperty + ' ' + aSecondProperty;

}

a org.hibernate.PropertyNotFoundException exception will be thrown, with message: Could not find a setter for property someValue in class <your_domain_class>.

Fortunately there is a way to prevent this kind of behavior, the getter should be declared:

transient def getSomeValue(){

return aProperty + ' ' + aSecondProperty;

}

in order to avoid that Grails process it as a property of the domain class.
