Grails JSON Converters and transient properties

Question

Using Grail 1.3.7 I found that the JSON converter ignores transient properties of Domain objects. Question: Is there an elegant way to work around this obstacle.

Bonus question: what's the reasoning behind excluding calculated fields(transient props) from being sent to the response????

Answer 1

what works for me is this one line

def jsonobj=domobj.properties as JSON
