GORM createCriteria and list do not return the same results : what can I do?

Question

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 
} 
         


        

Answer 1

EDIT: Found a way to get both! Totally going to use it now

http://www.intelligrape.com/blog/tag/pagedresultlist/

If you call createCriteria().list() like this
def result=SampleDomain.createCriteria().list(max:params.max, offset:params.offset){
// multiple/complex restrictions
   maxResults(params.max)
   firstResult(params.offset)
} // Return type is PagedResultList
println result
println result.totalCount

You will have all the information you need in a nice PagedResultList format!

/EDIT

Unfortunately I do not know how to get a combination of full results AND max/offset pagination subset in the same call. (Anyone who can enlighten on that?)

I can, however, speak to one way I've used with success to get pagination working in general in grails.

def numResults = YourDomain.withCriteria() {
    like(searchField, searchValue)
    order(sort, order)
    projections {
      rowCount()
    }
}

def resultList = YourDomain.withCriteria() {
    like(searchField, searchValue)
    order(sort, order)
    maxResults max as int
    firstResult offset as int
}

That's an example of something I'm using to get pagination up and running. As KoK said above, I'm still at a loss for a single atomic statement that gives both results. I realize that my answer is more or less the same as KoK now, sorry, but I think it's worth pointing out that rowCount() in projections is slightly more clear to read, and I don't have comment privileges yet :/

Lastly: This is the holy grail (no pun intended) of grails hibernate criteria usage references; bookmark it ;) http://www.grails.org/doc/1.3.x/ref/Domain%20Classes/createCriteria.html
