errors

Purpose

An instance of the Spring Errors interface containing errors associated with this controller.

Examples

class DemoController {

static allowedMethods = [updatePerson: 'PUT']

def generateReport(int size) { if(hasErrors()) { errors.allErrors.each { println it } } }

def updatePerson(SomeDomainClass sdc) { // if params.id is found then a call // will have been made to SomeDomainClass.get(params.id) // to retrieve the instance from the database. // if no matching instance is found then // sdc will be null and the controller // will not have errors. If params.id // is found and an exception occurs while // trying to retrieve the instance then // sdc will be null and an error will // be added to the controller if(sdc == null && hasErrors()) { errors.allErrors.each { println it } } } }

Description

The errors property is used by Grails while processing a request. Errors are generated when a type conversion happens while processing action parameters or if an exception is thrown while trying to retrieve a domain class command object from the database.
