Does domain object has to map a table?

[GrailsNewbie]

Hello,

If my grails service class returns a result set of type cursor (multiple rows) can I map them to domain? in other words can I use domain as model to map a row set . For example if I have a Person table with columns Id, First Name, Last Name, Address etc. and my result set returns me rows with only columns FirstName and LastName . Can I create a domain called Person and not map it directly to table Person instead use it a plain model?

Thanks.

You can’t create a domain lass and not map it to a table.  Part of the
definition of a domain class is that it is mapped to a table (assuming
you are using Hibernate GORM).

You could create a class that isn’t a domain class and use that for
what you are describing.  You should define that class under
src/groovy/ for Grails 2 or src/main/groovy for Grails 3.

Strictly speaking that isn’t really true.  You could use…

   static mapWith = “none"

But it isn’t clear why you want the thing to be a domain class to begin with.
