Question

I am unable to deploy grails war in tomcat .

1. Copied all 55 jars to $CATALINA_HOME/shared/lib/grails-jars/
2. Added shared.loader= ${catalina.home}/shared/lib/grails-jars/*.jar

And started tomcat successfully. Now deployed grails war in deploy folder (war is ~572.4KB).

The console shows these errors :

log4j:ERROR Could not instantiate appender named "CONSOLE".

My application contains 4 plugins :

2. liferay-exploded-0.8
3. portlets-0.7

Could any one please help me .

Sounds like this might be a Hibernate version problem, as described here.
