Compilation issue while upgrading from Grails 2.2.2 to 2.5.1

Question

I am doing a migration from Grails 2.2.2 to Grails 2.5.1.While upgrading that i am facing compilation issue for

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ApplicationHolder

class which is present inside

spring-security-core-1.2.7.3\src\groovy\org\codehaus\groovy\grails\plugins\springsecurity\ReflectionUtils.groovy

I am using spring-security-core 1.2.7.3 and spring security ldap 1.0.6 version inside my plugin dependency tag inside the buildConfig.groovy. I tried to update the version but i am not finding the right combination for both the jars. Could someone help me to find the correct version of both the jars which is compatible with 2.5.1 Grails.

Answer 1

Use compile ":spring-security-core:2.0.0" for the core plugin and compile ":spring-security-ldap:2.0.1" for the LDAP plugin.

Your BuildConfig.groovy should look like this:

grails.servlet.version = '3.0'
grails.project.work.dir = 'target'
grails.project.target.level = 1.7
grails.project.source.level = 1.7

grails.project.dependency.resolver = 'maven'
grails.project.dependency.resolution = {
   inherits 'global'
   log 'warn'
   checksums true
   legacyResolve false

   repositories {
      inherits true
      mavenLocal()
      grailsCentral()
      mavenCentral()
   }

   dependencies {
      ...
   }

   plugins {
      compile ':spring-security-core:2.0.0'
      compile ':spring-security-ldap:2.0.1'
      // other plugins
   }
}
