addTo* dynamic method is not supported in GORM standalone

[restagner]

I've been wrangling my brain over the past couple of days with regards to some code I'm attempting to use in GORM Standalone mode. If I run the following code using the grails console command (i.e., using grails 2.4.4)

import com.xyz.domain.entities.*

def license = new License()
license.with {
    project = 'Automated License Test'
    projectTypeId = 2 // Trailer
    fee = new BigDecimal("35000.00")
    feeCurrencyId = 153 // US Dollars
    licenseeId = 661 // Paramount
    contractDate = new Date() - 10
    licenseStatusId     = '1' // In Progress
    licenseTermId = 'P' // perpetual
    setupById = 'testr005'
    setupDate = new Date()
}

def master = new Master()
master.with {
    title = 'Automated Master Test'
    originalLabelId = 'WDR'
    duration = '3:44'
    recordingTypeId = 17
    languageId = 21
    pNoticeYear = '2014'
    pNoticeText = 'Walt Disney Records'
    recordingDateText = '2014'
    aftraInd = 'Y'
    afmInd = 'Y'
    countryOfOriginId = 100
    assetTypeId = 1
    setupById = 'testr005'
    setupDate = new Date()
    versionTitle = 'From the TEST Soundtrack'
    englishTitle = 'Automated Master English Title'
}

license.addToMaster(master)
license.save(failOnError: true)
println "LICENSE ID: ${license.id}"
println " MASTER ID: ${master.id}"

Everything works as expected. I get data/records added to the master, license and license_master (the join table) tables. Yet, when I attempt to run the same code using GORM in standalone mode ... like so

def jdbcUrl      = "jdbc:sqlserver://${dbHostName}:${dbPortNumber};databaseName=${dbName}"

def entities = []
entities.add(Master)
entities.add(License)

def init = new HibernateDatastoreSpringInitializer(entities)

init.configureForDataSource(dataSource)

    contractDate = new Date() - 10

It fails with the following exception

This is already fixed in master

This is great news!!

I'm just getting around to reading this information. As noted in this ticket, we are using GORM-Standalone (version 1.1.0.RELEASE) using the following syntax

@Grab("org.grails:gorm-hibernate4-spring-boot:1.1.0.RELEASE")
@Grab("Microsoft:mssql-driver-jdbc4:4.0")
@GrabExclude('org.codehaus.groovy:groovy-all')

// initialize the _list_ of Entities
def init = new HibernateDatastoreSpringInitializer(entities)
// set up the data source connection
def dataSource = new DriverManagerDataSource("${jdbcUrl}", "${dbUsername}", "${dbPassword}")
dataSource.setDriverClassName(SQLServerDriver.name)
init.configureForDataSource(dataSource)

If/when I move to version 3.x.x, can I re-use the same code? If not, could you please provide me with an example of how I may use GORM-Standalone with version 3.x.x?

[graemerocher]

Yes you can reuse the same code

[restagner]

@graemerocher very nice!!! How about the dependency? At the moment, I'm using

@Grab("org.grails:gorm-hibernate4-spring-boot:1.1.0.RELEASE")

Currently, I do not see the equivalent for version 3.0.3 in Maven Central

[graemerocher]

@restagner They haven't been published to central but are on Bintray:

https://bintray.com/grails/grails-core/org.grails%3Agorm-hibernate4-spring-boot/view

[restagner]

Thanks @graemerocher ! I'll give that a try

[restagner]

@graemerocher

My apologies for returning to this thread. But, I gave the update a try and it did not work out for me. I've posted questions to the Grails Slack channel as well as posted my issue on stackoverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32315048/gorm-standalone-throws-hibernateexception). However, I have yet to get a response. That is why I'm back here hoping that you can help me out.

Basically, after upgrading to gorm-hibernate4-spring-boot:4.0.4.RELEASE, I receive the following exception

HibernateException: No Session found for current thread

The stackoverflow link I referenced above has all the details. I hope that you can help out. I'm about ready to give up on the standalone upgrade.
