title: How to set default value for Domain Class Values in Grails 2.2?
body: <p>In my Grails domain class I want to set default values which do persist in the database. I use mysql as database. I tried to do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class A {
  
     long someValue = 1
     long someOtherValue
     boolean someBool = true
     boolean someOtherBool
  
     static mapping = {
        someOtherValue defaultValue: 1
        someOtherBool defaultValue: true  
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But nothing works. There are no default values set in the database. What do I have to change  to get my default values being set correctly?</p>
