Obscure Groovy error when class not found in resources.groovy

I have been trying to change my webservice implementation from org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean to use org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate instead. But during this effort, I did not import spring-ws-2.0.0-M1-all.jar that would provide those Classes. I assumed that I would get a descriptive error when I encountered a ClassNotFound issue but I have not.


I assumed because I had been using org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean, that org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate would also be available, or I would at least get a message that would help me resolve the issue. Not the case.
I keep getting Caused by: groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: org for class: resources

Here is my declaration for resources.groovy

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.commons.ConfigurationHolder

beans = {

routingLookupService(org.springframework.remoting.jaxws.JaxWsPortProxyFactoryBean) {
serviceInterface = "com.comcast.ivr.das.services.RoutingLookupServicePortType"
wsdlDocumentUrl = ConfigurationHolder.config.routingLookupService.wsdlDocumentUrl
namespaceUri = "http://services.das.ivr.comcast.com"
serviceName = "RoutingLookupService"
endpointAddress = ConfigurationHolder.config.routingLookupService.endpointAddress
maintainSession = "false"
}

messageFactory(org.springframework.ws.soap.saaj.SaajSoapMessageFactory)

} // End beans.

The following error trace is cause by my messageFactory() declaration

I finally tracked the issue down, and it seems that this error is actually ClassNotFound error. Once I added spring-ws-2.0.0-M1-all.jar the issue was fixed.

Conclusion

Be careful in your Groovy syntax, as the nature of certain errors are not obvious all the time.
