Newbie Question:
I've been required to deploy a grails app to jboss 5. I'm having a hell of a time figuring out how to take advantage of the grails jbossas plugin. I've followed the documentation as best as I know how, but I get the same exceptions just as if the plugin was never there.
Here's the documentation i've been following:
http://grails-plugins.github.com/grails-jbossas/docs/manual/guide/2%20Usage.html
I've added the plugin to the BuildConfig.groovy plugin{} closure. I then called grails war. Nothing happens and my war deploy bombs out.
Could somebody give a newbie a little hand holding to get this plugin to work? Unfortunately, I'm finding the documentation to be wanting in the regard of actually telling you how to use it, or when the plugin will do its magic.
UPDATE:
My environment:
Mac OS X Lion Dev machine
Grails 2.0.3
JBoss 5.1.0 -- running a Liferay instance.
Burt, I've done the following:
grails generate-jboss-deploy 5
grails war.
scp the generated war file to the deploy-jboss directory on my remote server.
Dutifully, jboss picked up the new war and attempted to deploy it. I'm getting the following (now dreaded) exception:
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: org.hibernate.validator.ClassValidator
Per the usage instructions, I've modified Datasource.groovy's hibernate configuration:
hibernate {
cache.use_second_level_cache = true
cache.use_query_cache = true
cache.region.factory_class = 'net.sf.ehcache.hibernate.EhCacheRegionFactory'
validator.apply_to_ddl = false
validator.autoregister_listeners = false
}
The only file that seems to have been modified or created by running the generate-jboss-delpoy 5 script is WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml. It's contents are:
<jboss-web>
<class-loading java2ClassLoadingCompliance="false">
<loader-repository>
sappi-label:loader=sappi-label.war
<loader-repository-config>java2ParentDelegation=false</loader-repository-config>
</loader-repository>
</class-loading>
</jboss-web>
I confirmed that the jboss-web.xml file is present in the generated war file (exploded, then checked the directory).
Burt: what files other than jboss-web.xml should have been altered?
UPDATE (Again):
I don't think there's anything wrong with the jbossas plugin. I've done more testing and see that the plugin is doing what it is supposed to do: remove jars, put in jboss-web.xml. I haven't been able to confirm that it modifies the hibernate config, but I assume it is. I think the problem lies within the server I'm attempting to deploy to, a Liferay instance.
regardless of what I'm doing I get an exception saying that slf4j was unable to load successfully. Nothing more, nothing less. I'll keep whacking away at the problem, but it is out of scope of my original question. Burt, thanks for your help. If you have any ideas about why slf4j vomits in a Liferay/jboss environment, please let me know.
Regards.
Thanks!
I guess I didn't make it clear that you need to run the generate-jboss-deploy script, passing in the major version of JBoss that you're using, so in your case generate-jboss-deploy 5. I've updated the docs to describe this.
If this doesn't help please update your question with some indication of what the errors that you're seeing are.

After upgrading from 2.5.5 to 3.1.1, when I build my application as an executable war (or deploy to tomcat container), messages cannot be resolved from message.properties or any i18n properties files.
org.springframework.context.NoSuchMessageException: No message found under code 'timeZoneId' for locale 'en_US'.
When run in IntelliJ, it all works fine.
In terms of configuration, I’ve tried to make my build as close to the “out of box” Grails app as possible.
I’m wondering if anyone could provide a hint or suggestion as an avenue of investigation I could travel down as I’m just about out of ideas. Happy to add configuration detail as requested.
I'm using a multi-module build with a plugin as a dependency.
I suspect that maybe you have done some modification on your Grails project (2.5.5) that cant be support on the newest grails 3.3.0.
I would suggest you to check 3.3.0 documentation on how to customise your msg.
You can refer to https://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/validation.html. There is an example of how to modify your own label or msg.
In the case of the blank constraint this would be user.login.blank so you would need a message such as the following in your grails-app/i18n/messages.properties file:
user.login.blank=Your login name must be specified!
Hope it helps. Cheers
Grails Version: 3.0.7
Groovy Version: 2.4.4
JVM Version: 1.8.0_51
I must be missing something really simple here.
I've added a grails plugin to my project as defined in the read me :
compile 'org.grails.plugins:geocode:0.3'
I can see the relevant dependencies have been pulled down from the repository.
However, when trying to inject the service within my controller using :
def geocodingService
I receive the following error upon execution :
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke method getPoint() on null object
The relevant line of code is :
Point location = geocodingService.getPoint('XXX XXX, UK')
My guess is the dependancy injection is failing but can anybody please tell me the mistake I am making?
Note : Copied my answer from another almost identical questions ...
OK, this seems to be down to me stupidly trying to use a grails 2.x plugin in a grails 3.x plugin.
There are various steps to go through to upgrade a plugin from 2.x to 3.x all detailed within the grails documentation.
My immediate solution was to simply create a new service and copy the code from the plugin into my application. Worked just fine.
Grails 3.x plugins : https://bintray.com/grails/plugins
Grails 2.x plugins : https://grails.org/plugins/
It's not obvious unless you navigate via the grails site. If you come in for example from Google directly to a plugin page, compatibility is shown as 2.5.x >
However, this actually seems to mean greater than 2.5.x but less than 3.x
Hope this helps should anyone else encounter this.
Found in this tuto the cmd to deploy a grails app on Glassfish application server:
asadmin deploy --libraries $GRAILS_HOME/lib/glassfish-grails.jar helloworld-0.1.war
Browsing to $GRAILS_HOME/lib/ , don't find glassfish-grails.jar file .
From where can someone get this library ? i mean :glassfish-grails.jar
That stuff is badly dated and I don't think they've updated it in 4 years. For some reason it didn't even appear to be open source when I look at this a year or so ago.
There was plugin but it's almost as dated. The repo has seen some updates fairly recently, so if you wanted to get this thing to the finish line it seems very doable and I think it'd be a great addition.
I would be willing to help out some after the holidays It looks like just updating the glassfish-embedded-all dependency to 'org.glassfish.main.extras:glassfish-embedded-all:4.1' and ensuring that the plugin code compiles would be a chunk of the work, with ensuring that it functions being the remaining :) See http://mvnrepository.com/ for more info, dependencies, etc.
Feel free to email me if you get stuck or want to know anything about getting a new server to act like Tomcat and Jetty do in run-app - I've worked on both of those.
The tutorial was written for the Glassfish v3 Prelude version, a very early version of Glassfish 3, and seems to be invalid for current versions of Glassfish 3.
The file glassfish-grails.jar doesn't exist anymore in the GRAILS lib folder, but it isn't needed anyway.
To make a shared-war (a WAR without the lib files) work, you have to do the following:
Copy all the libs from $GRAILS_HOME/lib/ to $GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/lib/.
Deploy it via: asadmin deploy helloworld-0.1.war (or use the Glassfish Admin GUI)
Everything else should work as described in the tutorial.

I have a Grails app that uses the Rest plugin
When I drop my war into my JBoss deploy directory and start it up, the deployment of the app fails because of the following error:
2012-11-01 15:48:33,931 ERROR [org.jboss.web.tomcat.service.deployers.JBossContextConfig] XML error parsing: context.xml
org.jboss.xb.binding.JBossXBRuntimeException: Failed to create a new SAX parser
I believe this refers to the grails app containing a version on xercesImpl as well as JBoss having it's own. We usually rectify this by removing xercesImpl from our apps or setting them to "provided" scope.
I'm trying to figure out how I fix this deploy issue. I'm assuming I have to edit the BuildConfig.groovy script and tell it, somehow, to exclude xerces right? How would I do that for this plugin? If this were a "dependency" that appears to be easy to specify the exclusions. But I'm not sure how to do it for this plugin...
any ideas?
In your BuildConfig.groovy add this:
inherits('global') {
excludes 'serializer'
}
It turns out, doing the following in the plugin section of my BuildConfig.groovy did the trick after all...
compile(":rest:0.7"){
excludes "xercesImpl"
}
I have been using IntelliJ for almost a year ad I have always been really happy with it. However, yesterday I set it up on my new laptop (Ubuntu 11.04), and haven't seen the plugins module since.. :-(
Ran grails clean, tried to change the project structure/settings to include $HOME/.grails/1.3.x/projects/projectName/plugins, but still nothing. My understanding is that it should pick up the plugins automatically, am I right?
For the record, I am using Grails 1.3.4, IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 9.0.4.
I'd strongly recommend switching to the latest Intellij version (10.5.1 as of now). Support for Grails has been improved a lot since 9.x. If you don't want to upgrade, check the following areas:
are all used classpath variables set correctly?
are you referencing the correct Grails version?
I'm using IntelliJ 11.1.3 with Grails 2.1.1.
General Issue:
The IDE Build/Make Project/Run Unit-tests sometimes fails to resolve classes referenced as dependencies within Plugins and produces 'no class...' errors. Normal grails targets (compile, run-app, test-app) work without issue!
Workaround:
Restarting IntelliJ 'magically' corrected my Plugin related 'no class...' errors.
What didn't work:
grails resolve-dependencies (makes sense because grails run-app worked fine!)
grails clean (again makes sense this is just purging the output)
Seems like the IDE Build/Make Project/Run Unit-tests uses a stale classpath in some circumstances. Unfortunately I don't have a repeatable test case but noticed that modifying BuildConfig and doing grails refresh-dependencies or compile or run-app doesn't make the IDE update it's list of grailsPlugins!
I've had IDEA do this once in a while to me as well. Even in the latest version (though I do agree you should upgrade, but 9->10 isn't free). For me, I just had to kill IDEA and restarted it.
IMPORTANT UPDATE! It will be fixed in 11.1.2! YEEAAAH!
In my case plugins not resolving because of custom system property 'grails.work.dir'. If your project using default 'grails.work.dir' than OK otherwise plugins won't be resolved. Tested on Idea 10.5.4, 11.1.1 and windows 7.
