I have a Grails 2.0.0 project that was created using grails create-app. In my HTML and GSP files, I’m trying to include jquery.js. I’ve tried all of the following without success:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/jquery-1.7.1.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery/jquery.js"></script>
<g:javascript library="jquery"/>

The first two <script> tags results in 404 Not Found (verified with Firebug). The <g:javascript>tag results in nothing being included (verified using view source).

On my Grails application’s home page, it indicates that jquery 1.7.1 is installed (under “INSTALLED PLUGINS”).

What is the correct way in Grails to include the jquery .js file?

Follow-up: The .GSP file:

<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>
    <g:javascript library="jquery/jquery"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Test</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Results in the follow HTML source:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Test</title>

  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Test</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Note the lack of jquery.js being included.

    Apparently <r:layoutResources/> needs to be included in <head> (after <q:javascript library='jquery' />). The following actually works:

    <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8" %>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Simple GSP page</title>
    <g:javascript library='jquery' />
    <r:layoutResources/>
  </head>
  <body>
    Place your content here
  </body>
</html>
