Now (strarting Grails 2.x) you don't even have to instantiate new DefaultGrailsDomainClass(...) and avoid unnecessary code executions. All domain class objects have injected property domainClass:

def domainObject = new YourDomain()
domainObject.domainClass.persistentProperties

Or, if you haven't domain class object, you can get DefaultGrailsDomainClass from application context by domain class name - each domain class has a DefaultGrailsDomainClass registered as a Spring bean. So you can use, for example, Holders (assuming your domain class name is 'Foo'):

def defaultGrailsDomainClass = Holders.applicationContext.getBean("FooDomainClass")
defaultGrailsDomainClass.persistentProperties
