java.lang.ClassCastException in Grails app

Question

I am following the free online book "Getting Started with Grails" (http://www.infoq.com/minibooks/grails-getting-started) and I am getting a java.lang.ClassCastException when trying to list any domain class. Can anyone decipher this?

URI: /RaceTrack/runner/list
Class: java.lang.ClassCastException
Message: sun.proxy.$Proxy26 cannot be cast to org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateCallback

Stack trace:

    Line | Method

186:                chain.doFilter(request, response);
187:                return;
188:            }
189:            Collection<CacheOperation> cacheOperations = cacheOperationSource.getCacheOperations(

Additional info (around line 63 of AbstractFilter.java):

60:     try {
61:         // NO_FILTER set for RequestDispatcher forwards to avoid double gzipping
62:         if (filterNotDisabled(request)) {
63:             doFilter(request, response, chain);
64:         }
65:         else {
66:             chain.doFilter(req, res);

Can you please include the code from RunnerController. Given it's the top of the stack trace that's where you should start looking. — David

I have noticed this issue when I run from idea, but not from the command line (grails run-app). Maybe this has to do with the environment? our production version is using a remote db, and the dev is using hsqldb. — nycynik

Also having trouble when running from IDEA, but not the command line. Clearing the .slcache not helping then, so must be related to IDEA. — Peter N. Steinmetz

I've had the same issue happening all of a sudden couple days back. Deleting ~/.grails/2.0.4/.slcache/ directory fixes it for me.

Shortcut - remove entire .grails folder.

Thanks! BTW, in my environment, it's ~/.grails/.slcache/.

Delete .slcache in both the top of the .grails subdirectory and also the .slcache, if it exists, for the particular version of grails being used. For example, ~/.grails/2.1.3/.slcache.

This worked when using IntelliJ IDEA to launch the app.

Does the app start up with reloading (spring-loaded agent) disabled?

grails -noreloading run-app

A similar problem has been reported to Grails Jira as GRAILS-9952. It would help fixing the problem if you can provide an test app that reproduces the problem. Please attach that to the jira issue.
