Question

I have a grails application with a JavaCC parser integrated. In this parser I create grails domain object. I have objects such as Product, Release and Document as Grails domain classes.

In the generated Java class (from JavaCC) I create Products, Releases and Documents. Very often (not always though) I get build errors from Grails stating that:


Compile error during compilation with javac.
D:\workspaces\productArchive\com.rcs.products\src\java\com\configinfo\Parser.java:173: error: cannot find symbol
document.setFilename(filename);
^
symbol: method setFilename(String)
location: variable document of type Document


My Document class looks like this:

class Document {
 String filename     
 String docVersion
 String path
 String title
 String documentNumber
 String keys


    static belongsTo = [release: Release]

    static constraints = {
        filename(blank: false)
        version(blank: false)
        path(blank: true)
        release(nullable: true)
        keys(blank: true, nullable: true)
    }

}

I have set JDK_VERSION to 1.6 in the JavaCC grammar file. I’m using Grails 2.0.1.

Can anyone explain these compiler errors?

It seemed to some kind of name collison. I don’t know why though.
