ResourceService update method should not overwrite dateCreated

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. During a PUT operation send and try to overwrite the dateCreated field
2. Since the update operation in the ResourceService copies the full property, 
the dateCreate is updated

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
dateCreated is replaced with what is passed in.  This should not happen

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
jaxrs-06 - Mac OSX

Please provide any additional information below.
I copy the system dateCreated to the object passed in prior to overwriting it:
dto.dateCreated = obj.dateCreated
Don't know if you can do that by default as you'll need to examine the domain 
object to see if it has the dateCreated field.

Thanks for reporting, that's definitely a bug. Would you like to fix that 
yourself and send a pull request? I'd highly appreciate it. 

Cheers,
Martin

I replaced the "update" method of the scaffolding template 
"ResourceService.groovy" with the following:

    def update(${resourceName} dto) {
        def obj = ${resourceName}.get(dto.id)
    if (obj.hasProperty('dateCreated')) {  // preserve the initial dateCreated
            def dc=obj.dateCreated
        }
        if (!obj) {
            throw new DomainObjectNotFoundException(${resourceName}.class, dto.id)
        }
        obj.properties = dto.properties
    if (obj.hasProperty('lastUpdated')) {obj.lastUpdated=new Date()}
        if (obj.hasProperty('dateCreated')) {obj.dateCreated=dc}
        obj
    }
