Issues with class paths

[Brian Riley]

Hi all, I'm a Grails newbie and have been away from Java for a couple of years and am running into an issue that's driving me crazy.

I have the latest STS 2.5.0 M3 and Grails 1.3.4.

I have been following a tutorial at http://blog.springsource.com/2010/08...y-with-grails/ to play around with Spring Security and I get to the portion where I setup my Bootstrap.groovy to create a couple of Roles and a User and get the following error on the SpringSecurityService object:

2010-09-03 09:31:11,013 [main] ERROR context.GrailsContextLoader – Error executing bootstraps: No such property: springSecurityService for class: BootStrap

Even if I import grails.plugins.springsecurity.SpringSecurityServic e into the file I get the same error.

As if this wasn't bad enough, I ran grails clean via STS and now all of my domain objects are marked as unresolvable in Bootstrap.groovy and if I modify any other classes and save, their imports show as unresolvable too. If I do a grails run-app those errors don't seem to bother anything (just my original SpringSecurityService issue).

What gives? Why is STS deciding that everything is unresolvable? Why does SpringSecurityService unrecognized?

I created the app, ran 'install-plugin spring-security-core', ran 's2-quickstart edu.conncoll.tests User Role', ran 'create-controller edu.conncoll.tests.Secure' and added a few entries to that file along with their @Secured annotations, and then setup the Bootstrap.groovy exactly as mentioned in the tutorial.

Thanks for any advice/help!

Could you paste your BootStrap code? Thanks.

Here it is ... didn't want to make the above post too long!

import grails.util.Environment;

import edu.conncoll.tests.*;

class BootStrap {

    def init = { servletContext ->
		switch(Environment.current){
			
			case Environment.DEVELOPMENT:
				//def requestMap = new Requestmap(url: '/secure/**', configAttribute: 'ROLE_ADMIN').save(flush: true)
				
				def userRole = Role.findByAuthority('ROLE_USER') ?: new Role(authority: 'ROLE_USER').save(flush: true, failOnError: true)
				def adminRole = Role.findByAuthority('ROLE_ADMIN') ?: new Role(authority: 'ROLE_ADMIN').save(flush: true, failOnError: true)
	
				def adminUser = User.findByUsername('admin') ?: new User(
																	username: 'admin',
																	password: springSecurityService.encodePassword('admin'),
																	enabled: true
																).save(flush: true, failOnError: true)
					
				if (!adminUser.authorities.contains(adminRole)) {
					UserRole.create adminUser, adminRole
				}
				
				def userUser = User.findByUsername('user') ?: new User(
																	username: 'user',
																	password: springSecurityService.encodePassword('user'),
																	enabled: true
																).save(flush: true, failOnError: true)

				if (!userUser.authorities.contains(userRole)) {
					UserRole.create userUser, userRole
				}
				
				break;
				
			case Environment.TEST:
				println "No special configuration required"
				break;
				
			case Environment.PRODUCTION:
				println "No special configuration required"
				break;
		}
    }
    def destroy = {
    }
	
	
}

You haven't declared 'springSecurityService' as a property of the class:

class BootStrap {
    def springSecurityService
    ...

I'm not sure why you're having the STS issues. Try a clean build (via the Project menu).

[Brian Riley]

That did it. Thanks pledbrook!

I guess it was a complete newbie question! The Project -> clean fixed the red 'unresolvable' issues as well. I will stick with that then instead of running 'grails clean'.

Thanks
