GrailsContextLoader Error with Transaction Manager

Question

I'm using Grails 2.3.3 for an application which has built successfully.

I'm now incorporating Spring security into the application adding the line in the plugins:

compile ":spring-security-core:2.0-RC5"

As a result I am getting this GrailsContextLoader error relating to transactionManager and sessionfactory - here is the error:

Error | 2017-10-13 12:46:09,299 [localhost-startStop-1] ERROR context.GrailsContextLoader - Error initializing the application: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManagerPostProcessor': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.MappingException: Association references unmapped class: homevu1.PicturesNWShr Message: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManagerPostProcessor': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager': Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.MappingException: Association references unmapped class: homevu1.PicturesNWShr

PicturesNWShr is one of my domains and there is no problem compiling it if the spring-security plugin is removed.

I have scanned a of related posts although I've not so far found one with an identical problem. But a number are suggesting making modifications to the dependency file in the root folder of the project in order to impose or exclude dependencies from the build.

I would welcome some suggestions?

Here is the domain definition of PicturesNWShr:

package homevu1

import java.util.Date;

class PicturesNWShr {

    static constraints = {
        name()
        filename(blank: true, nullable: true)
        dateCreated()
        caption(blank: true, nullable: true)
        slotType(blank: true, nullable: true)
        groupName(blank: true, nullable: true)
    }

    static mapping = {
        datasource 'publish'
    }

    String name
    String filename
    String caption
    Date dateCreated
    VideoSlotTypeShr slotType
    String groupName // link pictures together for multifile upload 
    // ideal for linking al images of a house together for EAs.
    Date updateDate // The multiple file upload process - checks each instance update is complete 
    // before adding to vidSlot.
    static belongsTo = [userBT: UserShr]


    String toString() {
        "${name}"
    }
}

Use the 2.0.0 final version of the plugin org.grails.plugins:spring-security-core:2.0.0 — saw303
I was side-lined by other app building problem for a few days - gettting back to this problem which is still unresolved. I've tried a variety of versions of spring-security-core from 1.2..7.4 to 2.0.0. all produce the same the unmapped error on class PicturesNWShr. I am using an identical set of versions of plugins in the BuildConfig to successfully build a separate application incorporating spring-security-core. Is there anything I could try regarding the domain class which I have posted in the initial question? All ideas and thoughts are welcome! — mikek

Having delved further into the Stackoverflow post archive regarding this mapping error - I have determined what the error is.

It's to do with having two separate data sources for my domains and when I extend UserShr which is a foreign key of PicturesNWShr it cannot map this as SecUser, SecRole & SecUserSecRole are in different datasources.

That said I'm not sure how to resolve this at the moment as now I need to 'undo' what s2-quickstart did to my application and ensure that SecUser, SecRole & SecUserRole are placed in the 'publish' datasource as referenced in the above domain class definition.

Will need to explore Stackoverflow further.
