I've been fixing small things on a project and sudendly I started to get this exception and I don't know what's the reason, the issue is there are no lines in the trace that actually lead to something in my code.

How should i report broken links in Docs? Should I open a ticket? For example in grails-spring-security-core link to CAS is broken.

I'm upgrading a Grails 6 project to Grails 7. The project has a few interceptors. Interceptor properties such as matchAll(), request/response and HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE cannot be resolved for some reason and compiling the project fails. I found a static import to fix HIGHEST_PRECEDENCE, but I haven't yet found a solution for other properties such as matchAll() and request/response. I'm using the latest stable version of IntelliJ Ultimate (2025.2.4) and the latest version of the Grails plugin available (252.23892.360). Any advice on upgrading the interceptors (and Grails in general) would be appreciated. I posted this question on Stackoverflow, but let me know if there is a more appropriate place to ask questions now that the project has moved to Apache. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/79802203/grails-7-interceptor-properties-not-working

Hi everyone! I’m currently working with Grails 5.3.5 and trying to use Spock together with Testcontainers, but I’m facing some difficulties. Has anyone had experience with this combination and could share some tips?

For those looking for grails-datastore-rest-client
that was removed from Grails, find it here https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/io.github.gpc/grails-datastore-rest-client-legacy - the only thing changed between

org.grails:grails-datastore-rest-client:6.1.9.RELEASE

and this is a few fixes and the move from

javax.

I am porting my app from 6.2.3 by creating a new project and copying over files so that I can pinpoint dependency issues. I've gotten pretty far (much better than the I've done before), but now I am copying over my controller files and gradlew has started throwing OOM issues. Is this common for anyone else? I can fit about 15 controllers and then it's just OOM. My system has 64 gigs and I've upped the -Xmx to 24g, but nothing is working. I've removed parallel build and set it to --no-daemon, but from what I can see when watching it it never uses more than about 1.6% of my system memory. Any ideas?

Grails 7.0.1 app running as war file stopped working Steps to create: 1. Generate a Grails app from Grails forge. With sitemesh3 disabled. 2. Download the zip file and run it within the project folder and it runs fine. 3. Assemble the war with

gradle clean assembe

and run it outside the project folder. 4. The app will error out with the following exception:

I'm using the grails-spring-security-rest plugin, which has worked fine for me in 6.2.3. But now it's giving me exceptions about the jwt secret being null. But I have it set in an externally loaded (not application.yml) file. And even if I set it there, it is always null. I've tried stepping through the code and I can see my loaded config file with the expected values (and all other custom values) when it is loading the default SecurityConfig. Is is something with the 'addFirst' when adding it to the propertiesSources? I can't get my app to load w/ a modified version of the plugin at this time. I'm using the 7.0.0 version for the security.

One last question? when serving static resources using the src/webapp directory, is it possible to change the target directory to NOT be 'static'. I had done that before (possibly why my above issue w/ the OOM?) Or am I stuck with 'static' in the URI?

Hi, We recently migrated our application to Grails 6.2.3 and switched from Tomcat to Spring Boot (using bootWar instead of war when building the release). Since the migration, we’ve encountered issues with the Hibernate session cache not expiring, which eventually leads to the application running out of memory. Under Tomcat, the session was automatically cleaned up after about 30 minutes, which prevented the issue, but it now seems that we may also be using Hibernate incorrectly in some parts of the application. Specifically, we often pass domain class instances (retrieved via MyDomainClass.findBy... or through service methods) directly to GSP views. Within the GSP, we then access nested fields that belong to other domain classes, which triggers additional lazy-loading and keeps the Hibernate session open. This behavior appears to contribute to the memory leak. Additionally, some of our command objects (Validatable) contain GORM domain objects as fields, which likely adds to the problem. We’re looking for the correct approach to handle retrieved data. Ideally without a full refactor to normalize everything into DTOs, since in many cases the specific nested data required is only known dynamically in the GSP. Perhaps will grails 7 handle it better? Thank you in advance for any hints!

I remember I read somewhere that new versions of Grails will be released following spring framework release cadence but I now cannot find any reference of that. Can anyone help me? I would like to introduce some automatic minor version upgrade in our CI but I would like to document why it is a good idea

I am upgrading my apps to 7 and have also upgraded some caches to Ehcache 3. We currently deploy our apps as WAR files to tomcat (10, java 21). Everything is working as expected so far, but when tomcat shuts down, I am seeing an exception from Ehcache

Copy code

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Close not supported from UNINITIALIZED

I am creating the cache beans like this

Copy code

@Configuration
class EhcacheConfig {
    
    @Autowired
    CacheManager cacheManager

    @Bean
    CacheManager cacheManager() {
        log.info('cacheManager() called')
        return CacheManagerBuilder.newCacheManagerBuilder().withCache('cache1', ...).withCache('cache2', ...).build(true)
    }

    @Bean
    Cache<String, Integer> cache1() {
        return cacheManager.getCache('cache1', String, Integer)
    }

    @Bean
    Cache<String, Integer> cache2() {
        return cacheManager.getCache('cache2', String, Integer)
    }

I am not seeing the same error happen when running locally with bootRun. Any ideas here?

In grails, how to domain collection sort on multiple attributes? In grails domain objects you can have a default sort order: class Airport { … static hasMany = [flights: Flight] static mapping = { flights sort: 'number', order: 'desc' } } Is there any way to sort on more than one attribute using this method?

Hello community, With all my projects, as I have them pretty much the similar major dependencies, • spring security • spring security rest • db migration • spring data • spring session • redis • json view After upgrading to Grails 7, my GSP views just can not being loaded correctly with standalone war file. However the GSP views does work under development mode. Spending quite some time tracing the code, I found the

precompiledGspMap

was not being populated for groovyPageLocator bean, as fall back it tried to use

resourceLoader

to load the

gsp

and then render it. That's why it works in development mode(because it use

resourceLoader

anyway for development mode) I have to do the following work around to put the code in resource.groovy to make the whole project working with grails 7.0.2.

Copy code

// Force precompiledGspMap to be used in production
    // Override the groovyPageLocator bean from GroovyPagesGrailsPlugin
    // to force loading of precompiled GSPs even when Metadata thinks dev is available
    if (Environment.current == Environment.PRODUCTION && !Environment.isDevelopmentMode()) {
        groovyPageLocator(org.grails.web.gsp.io.CachingGrailsConventionGroovyPageLocator) { bean ->
            bean.lazyInit = true

            // Force loading of precompiled GSP map from gsp/views.properties in WEB-INF/classes
            precompiledGspMap = { org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertiesFactoryBean pfb ->
                ignoreResourceNotFound = true
                location = 'classpath:gsp/views.properties'
            }

            reloadEnabled = false
            cacheTimeout = -1  // Never expire cache
        }

        // Force messageSource to load from classpath in production
        // Override to ensure i18n message bundles are loaded from WEB-INF/classes
        messageSource(org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource) {
            basename = 'classpath:messages'
            defaultEncoding = 'UTF-8'
            fallbackToSystemLocale = false
            useCodeAsDefaultMessage = false
            cacheSeconds = -1  // Cache forever in production
        }
    }

After putting this at the bottom of the resource.groovy. Everything works. I still doing the testing. Question is why do I have to do this? What is wrong? Obviously with simpler projects generated by the grails forge, it works perfectly too.
