You should not use unit tests or mocking to test domain classes. Grails does create a unit test for domain classes and this should be changed. Move the class to the same package and folder under test/integration and change the base class to GroovyTestCase and you'll have a proper test that runs with the in-memory database and tests persistence, not the mocking framework.
You're missing the mockForConstraintsTests() call. The common pattern is to do this in setUp().
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
