how to upgrade from grails 1.2.2 to 1.3.7? - grails

Question

I tried to upgrade my current project to grails 1.3.7 (from 1.2.2)
I tried to grails upgrade first, and then I tried to update all the plugins. I use ofchart, jsecurity and liquibase.
When I tried to run the grails (with grails run-app)
it won't start the apps instead it shut down. When I checked on my stacktrace.log I found something like this:
2011-10-03 11:59:09,250 [main] ERROR StackTrace - Sanitizing stacktrace:

Any idea how to fix this ? Thank you very much.
ps: I'm using latest / newest java.
here is my script for running the app
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
grails run-app -Dserver.port=9090 -Ddisable.auto.recompile=false

The dataSource bean is now a proxy for the real datasource. It's an instance of TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy which implements the DataSource interface, but since it's not the 'real' datasource you can't call non-standard methods on it.
I'm assuming you have a def dataSource field - just change it to def dataSourceUnproxied and then you can call methods like setMinEvictableIdleTimeMillis() on it.
