Building Blocks

I ran into an issue last night where Google AppEngine wouldn’t persist my entities. If I create an entity using the parameters provided by Grails; then the Save operations would fail with the following error

Uncaught exception from servlet
org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.InvokerInvocationException: groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: java.lang.StringBuilder.leftShift() is applicable for argument types: (org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.GStringImpl) values: [(login.email  = ?1 )]
