  <p>Is anyone familiar with this error and how it might be worked around? My googling brings back little or no info on deploying Grails wars to JBoss 6 (we might have been premature here) and only a couple dead-ends on this specific error.</p>
  
  <p>Any help appreciated.</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Edit: I originally incorrectly specified the grails version number as 1.2.3, it is actually 1.3.2</em></strong></p>
