    <p>Using: GG ver 2.2.4; and Groovy/Grails Tool Suite Version: 3.3.0.RELEASE</p> <p>Here's the question: How do I get a specific Grails JAR into the WAR built with GGTS?</p> <p>As side questions, why doesn't the WAR get that JAR packaged into it? And why does "grails run-app" work just fine, but deploying the WAR (in Development or Production) fails?</p> <p>Here's the background:</p> <p>When I run "grails run-war" locally on my Windows 7 deveopement computer, it fails with:</p> <pre><code>2013-10-16 11:36:05,371 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'grailsApplication' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/test/mixin/domain/DomainClassUnitTestMixin at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:334) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:166) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1145) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:615) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724) **Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/test/mixin/domain/DomainClassUnitTestMixin** </code></pre> <p>When I run "grails war" and then deploy the Production WAR to Tomcat 6 on my server, I get a similar deployment error inside catalina.out: </p> <pre><code>INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:47 | Oct 16, 2013 5:03:47 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:47 | INFO: HTMLManager: start: Starting web application at '/TSWeb-0.1' INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:48 | Oct 16, 2013 5:03:48 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:48 | INFO: Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | 2013-10-16 17:03:49,388 [TP-Processor2] ERROR context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'grailsApplication' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/test/mixin/support/GrailsUnitTestMixin INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler.invoke(JkCoyoteHandler.java:190) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at org.apache.jk.common.HandlerRequest.invoke(HandlerRequest.java:311) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.invoke(ChannelSocket.java:776) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.processConnection(ChannelSocket.java:705) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket$SocketConnection.runIt(ChannelSocket.java:898) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | **Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/test/mixin/support/GrailsUnitTestMixin** INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 17:03:49 | at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:270) </code></pre> <p>I can explore inside the WAR, and see that WEB-INF/lib/ does NOT contain the JAR in which both of the above classes reside (grails-plugin-testing-2.2.4.jar).</p> <p>I tried putting </p> <pre><code>grails.war.dependencies = [ "grails-plugin-testing-2.2.4.jar" ] </code></pre> <p>into config.groovy and this did not work. The WAR still did not contain that JAR and I got the same error.</p> <p>So, I just put grails-plugin-testing-2.2.4.jar into the WEB-INF/lib folder on the server and re-deployed and verified that the error above goes away, but now I get another error on the server:</p> <pre><code>INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:02 | Oct 16, 2013 6:34:02 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:02 | INFO: HTMLManager: start: Starting web application at '/TSWeb-0.1' INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:03 | Oct 16, 2013 6:34:03 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:03 | INFO: Initializing Spring root WebApplicationContext INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | 2013-10-16 18:34:07,011 [TP-Processor12] ERROR context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'pluginManager' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to locate constructor with Class parameter for class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.DefaultGrailsBootstrapClass INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at org.apache.jk.server.JkCoyoteHandler.invoke(JkCoyoteHandler.java:190) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at org.apache.jk.common.HandlerRequest.invoke(HandlerRequest.java:311) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.invoke(ChannelSocket.java:776) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket.processConnection(ChannelSocket.java:705) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at org.apache.jk.common.ChannelSocket$SocketConnection.runIt(ChannelSocket.java:898) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:724) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to locate constructor with Class parameter for class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.DefaultGrailsBootstrapClass INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | ... 6 more INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | ... 6 more INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: grails/test/GrailsMock INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at java.lang.Class.privateGetDeclaredMethods(Class.java:2521) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | at java.lang.Class.getDeclaredMethods(Class.java:1845) INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | ... 6 more INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: grails.test.GrailsMock INFO | jvm 1 | 2013/10/16 18:34:07 | ... 8 more </code></pre> <p>I'll investigate the second error and ask about it in a different question and reference it here. [UPDATE: This error goes away if I also put grails-test-2.2.4.jar into WEB-INF/lib on the server. Then, the WAR deploys and runs successfully.]</p> <p>To keep this Question/Answer to one topic, how do I get these 2 JARs into the WAR? </p> <p>But, of course, perhaps there is ONE solution that would solve BOTH issues (he-he-he - not likely but worth mentioning!) For example, I am ignorant as to why grails-plugin-testing-2.2.4.jar is used. Perhaps there is a setting I need to change to have that "go away."</p> <p>THANKS!</p>

    1. CODo you have something in BootStrap.groovy? It seems that your war have something that depends in the mixin, but shouldn't.

    2. COYes, Sergio. I do build test data in BootStrap.groovy, and have **import grails.buildtestdata.mixin.Build**. I'm using the build-test-data 2.0.5 plugin. Still curious, though. Why does it work with run-app in development, yet it failed as a WAR (as Development locally and Production on the server). But, when I added the jars as dependencies into the PROJECTNAME/lib folder, it does fix my issue. So, I'm proceeding with that. However, if there is something else I could/should do that would allow me to remove those jars and have it work, I'd gladly test that out.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
