Where should Grails Command objects be placed in the project structure?

Question

I have a class called LoginCommand in domain/my/package/name

class LoginCommand {

    String emailAddress
    String password

}

My question is why is a table be auto generated in my database for a ***Command object in grails? Are these command objects supposed to be placed ouside of /domain to avoid auto generation of a table by hibernate/orm.

Answer 1

They should not go in grails-app/domain; they are not domain classes. Place them in src/groovy. Alternatively, a common convention is to put the command class in the same file as the controller that uses it.

Take a look at the Convention Over Configuration section in the grails manual to get an idea of what goes where.
