Grails - grails.converters.JSON - removing the class name

Question

Is there a way to remove the class field in a JSON converter?

Example:

import testproject.*
import grails.converters.*  
emp = new Employee()  
emp         


        

Answer 1

One alternative is to not use the builder:

def myAction = {
    def emp = new Employee()
    emp.lastName = 'Bar'

    render(contentType: 'text/json') {
        id = emp.id
        lastName = emp.lastName
    }
}

This is a bit less orthogonal since you'd need to change your rendering if Employee changes; on the other hand, you have more control over what gets rendered.
