Upgrading grails from 2.1.1 to 2.4.3

问题

I am upgrading a grails app from 2.1.1 to 2.4.3 and solving errors along the upgrade is a never ending story.

Now I am stuck at this point.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks!

Instead of upgrading an existing grails application I tried to create a new application and copy files to the new project. This approach results in a different error.

grails run-app

GRAILS_HOME=C:\PROGRA~2\grails\grails-2.4.3

Grails version: 2.4.3

What to do now?

Thanks!

----------------------------------------------------

Based on the suggestion below to remove reference to bean 'grailsResourceLoader, I changed the applicationContext.xml accordingly.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="

    </bean>

    <bean id="pluginManager" class="org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.GrailsPluginManagerFactoryBean">

    </bean>

    </bean>

        <property name="encoding">
            <value>utf-8</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

Unfortunately, the problem remains the same.

Thanks for any further help!!

Is Java 1.8.0 required for Grails 2.4.3 ?

• No it is not, problem is the same even for java 8

回答1:

I was able to resolve the issue by creating a new 2.4 grails project and copying the applicationContext.xml file from it into my existing project.

回答2:

Your newer version of Grails doesn't need these two lines in applicationContent.xml:

<property name="grailsResourceLoader" ref="grailsResourceLoader" />

and

<bean id="grailsResourceLoader" class="org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.GrailsResourceLoaderFactoryBean" />

Remove them and restart your project. It should work just fine.

回答3:

For anyone interested, this problem was solved for me by changing the location of my Grails SDK from:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Grails\grails-2.4.3

to

C:\Grails\grails-2.4.3

eg. by removing the spaces in the GRAILS_HOME path as explained in the post found here.

Note, it did not work to remove the spaces by setting GROOVY_HOME = C:\PROGRA~2\Grails\grails-2.4.3

回答4:

I got the same error but upgrading grails to 2.5.5 version, hope it helps for yours.

In the applicationContext.xml:

<bean id="grailsApplication" class="org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.GrailsApplicationFactoryBean">
    <description>Grails application factory bean</description>
    <property name="grailsDescriptor" value="/WEB-INF/grails.xml" />
    <property name="grailsResourceLoader" ref="grailsResourceLoader" />
</bean>

Delete the grailsResourceLoader leaving it like this:

<bean id="grailsApplication" class="org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.GrailsApplicationFactoryBean">
    <description>Grails application factory bean</description>
    <property name="grailsDescriptor" value="/WEB-INF/grails.xml" />
</bean>

I did use this link: https://grails.github.io/grails2-doc/2.5.5/guide/upgradingFrom23.html
