Hello,
I'm having a frustrating problem with my Grails application. I'm able to run the application using both run-app and run-war without any issues, but when I try to deploy to a container, I get an exception that I'm not sure how to interpret. I've tried deploying on Glassfish, Tomcat, and Jetty, and I have the same issue in all three containers.
Any help in understanding what could cause this, and what underlying problems I should look for, would be extremely appreciated.
Stack log follows:

Either specify a type within the [mapping] block or use a basic type (String, Integer etc.)
