Grails errors in connecting to sms plugin - grails

Question

First two files are the 'SmsController.groovy' and 'applicationContext.xml' which I think cause the errors.
'SmsController.groovy':
package nexmo
import grails.plugin.nexmo.NexmoException
class SmsControllerController {
// Inject the service
def nexmoService
def smsResult
def index() {
try {
// Send the message "What's up?" to 1-500-123-4567
smsResult = nexmoService.sendSms("61451062006", "What's up?")
}
catch (NexmoException e) {
// Handle error if failure
}
}
}
'applicationContext.xml':
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

The below are the errors I'm getting after copying the files from new apps. (applicationContext.xml, sitemesh.xml & some .tld files):

Answer 1

That's probably due to a mismatch between the package and the directory the file is in. If the controller is in grails-app/controllers/nexmo/SmsController.groovy, you need the corresponding package statement:
package nexmo
class SmsController {
...
}
