Grails import SpringSecurityUtils unresolve class

Question

Using Grails 2.4.4. So I wanted to create a custom LoginController.groovy and I copied the file from an old project to the controller directory (no package). It can't seem to resolve the class for SpringSecurityUtils.

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.springsecurity.SpringSecurityUtils

One stackoverflow answer mentioned using, but this also did not work.

import grails.plugins.springsecurity.SpringSecurityUtils //Did not work

=> Groovy:unable to resolve class org.codehaus.groovy.grails.plugins.springsecurity.SpringSecurityUtils

I do see the spring-securty-core.jar in the build path. Running >grails run-app from CLI also has the same error.

Answer 1

Verify the package name again. Its

grails.plugin.springsecurity.SpringSecurityUtils

Notice plugin instead of plugins in package.
