No. It is not.

Answer 2

A:

It is only possible to mark certain properties on the domain object as 'transient' so that they are not persisted to the database. Otherwise, all domain objects are persisted.

UPDATE

With the most recent release of Grails 1.3.5 (released Oct 4 2010) it is now possible to disable persistence of a domain class. Add the following to the domain class:

static mapWith = "none"

There is a JIRA ticket with further details.

+3 A:

If I might add 2 words to your question: against convention! Grails is all about convention over configuration and doing what you'd like to do is against it.

Matthias Hryniszak 2010-09-26 20:16:48

convention works 95% of time. but sometimes a few brave ones have to break away from it :)

Yeah... and then there comes the new developer, hoping someone knew what they were doing and faces the imminent disappointment...

Matthias Hryniszak 2010-09-27 11:57:20

The concept is "convention over [preferred to] configuration", not "convention no configuration possible".

Fletch 2010-09-28 08:45:22

You're right... but still conforming to the convention makes life easier for everybody, don't you think?
