Grails hibernate dialect

Question

I'm having a weird problem, which I cannot solve at the moment.

Today I couldn't start my grails application anymore. The application code hasn't changed, the last week it was running smoothly.

This is the output:

| Loading Grails 2.0.3
| Configuring classpath.
| Environment set to development.....
| Packaging Grails application.....
| Compiling 1 source files.
path: /home/jacopo/.grailsApp/xml
| Error Error executing script RunApp: null (NOTE: Stack trace has been filtered. Use --verbose to see entire trace.)

  | Error Error executing script RunApp: null

I'm a bit lost at the moment.

Maybe someone can give me a hint about where to search for the error/problem.

Answer 1

This problem looks like it is similar to this one .

What they suggested is trying with no reloading:

grails -noreloading run-app

There are a few other suggestions in the thread as well but the main error I would focus on in the stacktrace is org.hibernate.HibernateException: IllegalAccessException trying to instantiate: org.hibernate.type.BlobType
