Importing Spring Framework in groovyConsole throws error

Question

I have a very simple Groovy script:

import org.springframework.*;

@groovy.transform.ToString()
@Controller(name="myHomeController")
class HomeController {

    String home() {

    }
}

As I use the @Controller annotation I used the menu option:

Script -> Import jars into classpath

But when compliging I receive the error:

1 compilation error:

unable to resolve class Controller ,  unable to find class for annotation
 at line: 2, column: 1

What is the correct way to use Spring Framework from the groovyConsole?

You rather need: `import org.springframework.stereotype.*` it this is gonna work. — Opal, Oct 17 '18 at 08:36
It works now if I erase `name = "myHomeController"`, otherwise I receive this error: ` 'name'is not part of the annotation org.springframework.stereotype.Controller -> org.springframework.stereotype.Controller in @org.springframework.stereotype.Controller at line: 4, column: 1 Unexpected type java.lang.Object in @org.springframework.stereotype.Controller at line: 4, column: 18` — Victor M Perez, Oct 17 '18 at 08:39
That's correct, `@Controller` has `value` which can be used with: `@Controller('whatever')`. — Opal, Oct 17 '18 at 08:40

For @Controller annotation you need to import:

import org.springframework.stereotype.*
