Grails 3.1.5 profile: rest-api No persistence required - grails

Question

Created the Grails 3.1.5 project with profile profile: rest-api.
I don't require any database persistence.
But it includes all persistence related stuff like Hibernate jars.
How to remove the database persistence part of the this project.
I deleted manually all entries related to persistence in build.gradle, removed datasource from yml file. Removed #Transaction from services.
But I am getting following error.
Is there any alternative way? I tried even 'grails uninstall-plugin hibernate'. But it is not working in 3.1.5.

Answer 1

Kept the following as it is in application.yml
grails:
profile: rest-api
spring:
transactionManagement:
proxies: false
And removed #Transaction annotation from everywhere.
Now working without database.
