One-to-Many With Composite Keys and Different Column Names in Grails

Question

This is a syntax question. I want a one-to-many relationship between Foo -> Bar (simplified here):

class Foo {
    String fooPK1, fooPK2

    static mapping = {
        id composite: ["fooPK1", "fooPK2"]
    }

    static hasMany = [bars: Bar]
}

class Bar {
    String fooPK1, dumbNameForFooPK2, barPK1, barPK2
    Foo myFoo

    static mapping = {
        id composite: ["barPK1", "barPK2"]
        columns {
            myFoo[:] {
                column name: "FOO_PK_1"
                column name: "?????????????"
            }
        }
    }
}

In this case, obviously Foo.fooPK1 maps to Bar.fooPK1, but i need Foo.fooPK2 to map to Bar.dumbNameForFooPK2. Hopefully this makes sense.

My problem is I have no idea what the syntax is supposed to be (or if there's a better way to do this!) and from what I could find, the grails documentation wasn't really helpful.

You need to rename the foreign key columns declaration inside Bar, wright?

class Bar {
  Foo myFoo

  static mapping = {
    columns {
      myFoo {
        //declare them in the order of your id composite.
        column name: "foo_pk_1"
        column name: "dumb_name_for_foo_pk_2"
      }
    }
  }

}
