Grails - createCriteria returns javassist instances instead of specific domain

I'm using the following criteria to retrieve all Person objects that have certain roles granted (in the PersonService):

@Transactional(readOnly = true)
List findAllByRoles(authorities) {
    Person.createCriteria().list {
            personRoles {
                role {
                    'in'('authority', authorities)
                }
            }
            order('name', 'asc')
        }.unique(false)
}

I now have the problem that it returns a List with Person__$$__javassist_67 objects rather than Person objects.

How could I alter the statement in order to retrieve Person objects?

EDIT:

I need this because I'm using the list I get here in connection with another list of Person objects. As I wanted to use removeAll on one of the two lists both need to contain objects of the same type what was not the case.

Solution

  • Implement the equals method on Person to be able to identify if 2 instances are equal, which will work across proxy
