This is the error I get when I launch tomcat w/ my webapp. Im sure it has something to do w/ the hibernate plugin.
I had the web application running on version 12.04 LTS ubuntu and now have upgraded to 18.04 LTS. I have the grails web-app compiled as a .war and have not recompiled the war. I figured it would continue to work from one version of ubuntu to another.
