grails hdiv integration - session succeeds but get HDIV_PARAMETER_NOT_EXISTS exception

Question

I am trying to integrate hdiv in a grails 2.0.3 application.

I have made all the changes mentioned in the hdiv-reference doc for spring mvc in my grails application. When the application starts up I can see that hdiv validatorfilter is initialized and Hdiv session is created.

Any help is appreciated

In my applicationcontext.xml I have

<bean id="requestDataValueProcessor" class="org.hdiv.web.servlet.support.HdivRequestDataValueProcessor" />

My web.xml is

However I see an error

Answer 1

Per the installation documentation for HDIV maybe try this:

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>ValidatorFilter</filter-name>
    <!-- Grails dispatcher servlet -->
    <servlet-name>grails</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

You might also need to add gsp servlet mapping but I would try with just grails front controller first.

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>ValidatorFilter</filter-name>
    <!-- Grails dispatcher servlet -->
    <servlet-name>grails</servlet-name>
    <!-- Groovy Server Pages servlet -->
    <servlet-name>gsp</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>
