Authentication Plugin User class

[Ferhat Beyaz]

Hi Folks,

I was using the Authentication Plugin for Grails by Marc Palmer
(http://grails.org/plugin/authentication) and wanted to add a phone
number to the domain model. So I created the following class:

class User {

   String login
   String password
   String email
   int status

   String phone

   static constraints = {
   }
}

So this is simply from the tutorial, but with one additional variable
for the phone number of an User. When I write my User class into the
Config.groovy and start my application, i get a runtime error: "Unable
to save user details for ***". What should I do to make it a correct
domain model?

I hope, that you can help me. Thank you very much, great Plugin.
Greetings,
Ferhat

Hi,

Your new field is probably failing to pass its implicit constraints when the plugin tries to save it.

Hi Marc,



Sorry, but what implicit constraints do you mean? I actually didn't
know, that there are any implicit constraints, so I googled it, but
found nothing.

Well it "should" work out of the box without your extra field. Does it?

When adding a simple string field no extra constraints should be added, and they should be nullable by default.

However, are you 100% sure the email address value you are supplying is valid?

Without the extra field it works correctly out of the box.

When I add it, it doesn't work anymore and any registrations ends in a
runtime error: "Unable to save user details for ***"

Im sure, I use the same login, e-mail address and pwd. But when I add
the extra field, this doesn't work anymore. Do I have to make a field
in the registration form, where the user puts in his phone number?
Don't think so.

My class looks like this. Nothing special:

class User {

    String login
    String password
    String email
    int status

    String phone

    static constraints = {
    }
}

Or do I have to tell the plugin in another way what to do with the
phone number field?

No, it doesn't care about that.

Please confirm:

1) that it works with your custom domain class, but without the "phone" property.
2) That you are honouring this from the docs:

    int status // must be set to AuthenticationService.STATUS_NEW at init

i.e. your code must default status to that value.

If not, I suggest you grab a debugger and trace into the plugin source.

Kind regards
Marc

By default all properties in GORM are non-nullable.

If your registration form doesn't have a phone number field then the
phone property on your newly-created domain object will be null, which
fails validation.  If there *is* a form field then the property will not
be null.  It might be the empty string if the user chooses not to fill
the field in but it won't be null.

So if you want the phone number to be optional you should give it a
nullable:true constraint.

This was the problem. I created a phone field, the implicit constraint
was, that it couldn't be nullable. On the signup form I didn't ask for
a phone number, so it was null.

Now I added the constraint nullable:true and all works fine. :)

Thank you, very much. Very clear and direct help.
Keep on the good work.

Does anyone has an example of a User class using the Authentication Plugin for Grails by Marc Palmer

I am pretty new on Grails and I do not understand how to use the plugin together with my User class.

Thanks a lot!
