Dynamic Finders

Grails integration allows performing dynamic queries for the domain class instances. So doing, code completion makes it possible to combine different queries based on the fields of the domain classes.

Pet.groovythere are four fields:String name Date birthDate PetType type Owner owner - In a Grails view, controller, or test class, create a method. For example, in the
PetSpec.groovy, create methodtestSomething(). - In the method body, reference a domain class to be queried, and start typing the query. Press Ctrl+Space:
