The error shows up only in mozzila firefox, while chroome loads the page without assests. Images,css,js are not loaded properly in chroome.
Do you know where could be an issue?

Answer 1

In version 3.1.1 of the spring security core plugin the method generating the exception is annotated as #Transactional (see below). Maybe you are using an older version?
class GormUserDetailsService implements GrailsUserDetailsService {
protected Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(getClass())
/**
* Some Spring Security classes (e.g. RoleHierarchyVoter) expect at least one role, so
* we give a user with no granted roles this one which gets past that restriction but
* doesn't grant anything.
*/
static final GrantedAuthority NO_ROLE = new SimpleGrantedAuthority(SpringSecurityUtils.NO_ROLE)
/** Dependency injection for the application. */
GrailsApplication grailsApplication
#Transactional(readOnly=true, noRollbackFor=[IllegalArgumentException, UsernameNotFoundException])
UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username, boolean loadRoles) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
def conf = SpringSecurityUtils.securityConfig
String userClassName = conf.userLookup.userDomainClassName
def dc = grailsApplication.getDomainClass(userClassName)
if (!dc) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("The specified user domain class '$userClassName' is not a domain class")
}
Class<?> User = dc.clazz
def user = User.findWhere((conf.userLookup.usernamePropertyName): username)
if (!user) {
log.warn 'User not found: {}', username
throw new NoStackUsernameNotFoundException()
}
Collection<GrantedAuthority> authorities = loadAuthorities(user, username, loadRoles)
createUserDetails user, authorities
}
...
}
