How to use custom validator in Grails

I'm new in Grails. I would like to use custom validator for matching two passwords during registration in my application. Unfortunetly doesn't work it.

Account.groovy

@Validateable
class Account {

    String login
    String password
    String confirm
    String passwordHashed
    char active
    static transients = ['password', 'confirm']     
    static belongsTo = Employee
    static hasMany = [role:Role]

    static constraints = {
        login unique:true, blank: false
        active nullable: true
        password blank: false, size: 5..15, validator:{ val, obj ->
            if(obj.password != obj.confirm ){
                return ['dontmatch']
            }
        }       
    }

    static mapping = {
        id generator: 'increment'
    }
}

AuthenticationController.groovy

class AuthenticationController {

    def signUp(Account accountInstance){

        if(accountInstance!= null){
            if (accountInstance.hasErrors()) {
                respond accountInstance.errors, view:'signUp'
                return
            }
            else{
                accountInstance.save(flush: true)
            }
        }
    }

}

signUp.gsp

messages.properties

account.password.dontmatch=Podane hasła muszą się zgadzać

I don't understand it. I enter two different passwords and I click signUp button, I don't see errors messages which should be display when validation failed. Could you help me?

The call of validate() is missing:

if (!accountInstance.validate() || accountInstance.hasErrors()) {
  ...
}

I think instead of the respond in the controller you want

render (view: "signUp", model: [accountInstance: accountInstance])

Your view expects an accountInstance object in the view model to render the errors, so you have to provide it.

You can also just do

return [accountInstance: accountInstance]

If there is a gsp that has the same name as the current action grails will automatically render it.

Match the actual value from the validator with the confirm property from the actual object.

password blank: false, size: 5..15, validator:{ val, obj ->
    if( obj.confirm && val != obj.confirm ) { // val is password
        return ['dontmatch']
    }
}
