Grails / Groovy - Domain Object - Map of its Properties

Question

How can I get a map of the key/values of only the user-defined properties on one of my domain objects?

Problem is if I do this myself, I get my properties plus class

Answer 1

Try this

class Person{
    String name
    String address
}

def filtered = ['class', 'active', 'metaClass']

def alex = new Person(name:'alex', address:'my home')

def props = alex.properties.collect{it}.findAll{!filtered.contains(it.key)}

props.each{
    println it
}

It also works if you use alex.metaClass.surname = 'such'. This property will be displayed in the each loop
