I have created a grails project using the maven integration instructions from the user's guide. The project builds successfully with 'mvn install' and can be run successfully with 'mvn grails:run-app'. However, the project can not be run with 'mvn grails:run-war'.
At first, the command 'mvn grails:run-war' appears to function correctly as the command runs successfully and ends with the familiar 'Server running. Browse to '. However, when you hit the project URL in a browser you get a 404 error and the following output in the tomcat-err.txt. The same behavior is displayed if an attempt is made to deploy the war file generated from 'mvn install' into tomcat.

Is there a dependency problem in the way mvn builds a grails war file?
Thanks,
