Grails的Controller中如何获取Domain模型

[size=x-large]问题的提出：[/size]
domain模型的定义如下，如何在Controller中取得domain模型的元数据

package application

class Bird {

    static domain=[chinese:"鸟"]

    String name
    String gender

    static constraints = {
        name(attributes:[chinese:"名称"])
        gender(attributes:[chinese:"性别"],inList:["公","母"])
    }
}

    def birdClass=grailsApplication.getArtefact("Domain","application.Bird")
    def cps=birdClass.getConstrainedProperties()
    def classChinese=Bird.domain.chinese
    def properties=[:]

        def index = {
        redirect(action: "list", params: params)
    }

    def list = {

        params.max = Math.min(params.max ? params.int('max') : 10, 100)
        println cps
        println "propiety:"
        birdClass.getProperties().each{
            def namePropertiy=it.getName()

            if(namePropertiy == 'id')
            {
                properties[namePropertiy]='编号'
            }else if(namePropertiy == 'dateCreated')
            {
                properties[namePropertiy]='创建时间'
            }else if(namePropertiy == 'lastUpdated')
            {
                properties[namePropertiy]='更新时间'
            }else if(it.isPersistent()==true && cps[namePropertiy]!=null && namePropertiy!='version'){
                properties[namePropertiy]=cps[namePropertiy].attributes.chinese?:namePropertiy
            }else{
                println "SHIT:"+namePropertiy
            }
        }
        println classChinese
        println properties

        [birdInstanceList: Bird.list(params), birdInstanceTotal: Bird.count(),classChinese:classChinese,properties:properties]
    }

 <g:set var="entityName" value="${classChinese}" />
 <div class="list">
   <table>
     <thead>
       <tr>             
         <g:sortableColumn property="id" title="${properties.id}" />

         <g:sortableColumn property="name" title="${properties.name}" />

         <g:sortableColumn property="gender" title="${properties.gender}" />

       </tr>

[size=x-large]心得体会：[/size]
做这件事情的最初想法是希望将ConventionOverConfiguration的思想贯彻的更彻底些，将中文化的工作直接“注入”到Grails Scaffolding的过程中，但由于Scaffolding过程中加载的Domain类并非最终类，因此无法正常读取相关元数据，因此最终采用Controller读取数据，通过预先约定好的数据传递给Views的方法，终于把这个“鸟”问题的解决方案整了一个思路出来。

后续还需要完善的地方：

[*]类关系处理(1:M, M:1, M:N)
[*]通过Controller继承的方式将取Domain类元数据过程“隐藏”
