Grails Error: No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes... After installing Spring Security Core

Question

I just created a new grails-app,
everything was fine until I decided
to install Spring Security Core.

After installing Spring Security Core
doing an s2-quickstart and hitting
grails run-app, it produced the
following error:

URI
/test1/
Class
java.lang.IllegalStateException
Message
No thread-bound request found: Are you referring to request attributes outside of an actual web request, or processing a request outside of the originally receiving thread? If you are actually operating within a web request and still receive this message, your code is probably running outside of DispatcherServlet/DispatcherPortlet: In this case, use RequestContextListener or RequestContextFilter to expose the current request.

Anybody know how to fix this?
I would really appreciate it if
you help. I have tried looking for
answers in other websites, however
I was unable to solve it. :)
BTW, I am using:
Spring Security Core 1.2.4
Grails 2.0.0.RC1

Solution 1

If you're using Maven, make sure you have this on your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.grails.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>webxml</artifactId>
    <version>1.4.1</version>
    <scope>runtime</scope>
    <type>zip</type>
</dependency>

and in BuildConfig,groovy:

runtime ":webxml:1.4.1"

That solved the issue for me with Grails 2.2.0.

Solution 2

This can happen if you're using an older version of Spring Security Core. I hit this when upgrading from grails 1.3.7 (and spring security 1.1.3) to grails 2.0.0. The fix was to change to spring-security-core 1.2 in application.properties:

plugins.spring-security-core=1.2

More info at http://jira.grails.org/browse/GPSPRINGSECURITYCORE-98 as suggested by 황현정.

Solution 3

Try to register a RequestContextListener listener in web.xml file.

File : web.xml

<web-app>
   ...
   <listener>
    <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener
    </listener-class>
   </listener>
</web-app>

very nice, worked like a charm, but what is the s2-quickstart message that comes up from grails telling me to run that command?

This fixed it for me in Grails 2.2.3, spring-security-core 1.2.7.3, thanks!!

Modifying the BuildConfig.groovy did not work for me, but adding "plugins.webxml=1.4.1" to the application.properties solved it. (I'm using ggts)
