How to debug ContextLoader - Failed to initialize context and BeanCreationException

Question

I see several messages on various problems that people are having to resolve this problem: Context ERROR.ContextLoader - Context initialization error org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:

Is there a way to enable debugging to isolate the problem?

He complains about “ There is no such property: getOrg for the class: groovy.lang.MetaClassImpl ”, but this is not direct for one of our classes, is there a way to get information related to our code base?

In our case, we had a Grails 1.2.1 application, deployed and working fine in Tomcat. Then we stopped Tomcat to backup the database, and then restarted the application. This same WAR without environmental changes (i.e. no changes to the configuration file, etc.) now causes this error. We observed this behavior intermittently before, but a restart was used to fix the problem.

In our development environment, the same application works fine with the "grails prod run-app" and also the "grails prod run-war".

Fragments of stacktrace:

Answer 1

If you set the logging level to DEBUG for the org.springframework and org.codehaus.groovy , you can get more detailed information.

But in the case of grails, sometimes it helps just stop tomcat, delete the work and temp directories, and start tomcat again.

Answer 2

I got this in grails 1.3.4, and deleting the tomcat and temp files ($ CATALINA_BASE / temp, $ CATALINA_BASE / work) seems to fix the problem.
