Chapter 3 listing 3.3 Saving and retrieving a domain object for the database

[mlhart58]

Listing is as follows:
Listing 3.3 Saving and retrieving a domain object from the database
package com.grailsinaction
import spock.lang.*
import grails.plugin.spock.*
class UserIntegrationSpec extends IntegrationSpec { #1
def "Saving our first user to the database"() {
given: "A brand new user"
def joe = new User(loginId: 'joe', password: 'secret',
homepage: 'http://www.grailsinaction.com')
when: "the user is saved" joe.save() #2
then: "it saved successfully and can be found in the database"
joe.errors.errorCount == 0 #3
joe.id != null #4
User.get(joe.id).userId == joe.userId #5
}
}

Last line should be:
User.get(joe.id).loginId == joe.loginId #5

You made the same mistake in listing 3.14 as well. Using "userId:" instead of "loginId:"

Yes, there are still several references to 'userId' in the MEAP. I have updated the manuscripts for chapters 3 & 6. Chapter 11 is already fixed, but that's not managed to get into the MEAP yet.

Thanks for the report.
