Grails errors in connecting to sms plugin

Question

First two files are the 'SmsController.groovy' and 'applicationContext.xml' which I think cause the errors.

'SmsController.groovy':

package nexmo

import grails.plugin.nexmo.NexmoException

class SmsControllerController {

// Inject the service
def nexmoService
def smsResult

def index() {

    try {
        // Send the message "What's up?" to 1-500-123-4567

        smsResult = nexmoService.sendSms("61451062006", "What's up?")
    }

        catch (NexmoException e) {
            // Handle error if failure
        }
    }
}

'applicationContext.xml':

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <property name="pluginManager" ref="pluginManager" />
</bean>

<bean id="characterEncodingFilter" class="org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter">
    <property name="encoding">
        <value>utf-8</value>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="conversionService" class="org.springframework.context.support.ConversionServiceFactoryBean" />

The below are the errors I'm getting after copying the files from new apps. (applicationContext.xml, sitemesh.xml & some .tld files):

Answer 1

That's probably due to a mismatch between the package and the directory the file is in. If the controller is in grails-app/controllers/nexmo/SmsController.groovy, you need the corresponding package statement:

package nexmo

class SmsController {
   ...
}
