Error with Grails 2.4 in Weblogic 10.3.6

I've run across a problem with Grails 2.4 war running in Weblogic 10.3.6 that seems to be coming from Sitemesh:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getServletContext()Ljavax/servlet/ServletContext;
    at org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.sitemesh.SitemeshLayoutView.createContentBufferingResponse(SitemeshLayoutView.java:40)

So the question would be is there a known requirement on servlet version 3.0 to run Grails 2.4? I see nothing in the documentation that says that, and actually find the opposite here: http://grails.org/doc/2.4.x/guide/gettingStarted.html#supportedJavaEEContainers

Solution

  • GRAILS-11450 - According to this JIRA it looks like Grails 2.4 is Servlet 3.0 and above, which means the documentation is incorrect.

    EDIT: Grails 2.4.1 has restored Servlet 2.5 support
