Problem deploying to Tomcat after upgraded to Grails 2.1 from 1.3.9

[Julian Shen]

Hi
App is running fine under dev mode. Got this error trying running on Tomcat (v.7.0.25).
Tomcat is running locally, so both dev and Tomcat are using the same version of JVM.

Noboday has any clue about this problem?

Could be the installed plugin related? The stacktrace and tomcat log file dose not reveal much information about its cause. I tried create a simple empty project (2.1.0 based) and it work in both dev and tomcat deployed scenario.

List of plugin used in my app:

plugins.constraints=0.6.0
plugins.database-migration=1.0
plugins.dojo=1.4.3.2
plugins.excel-import=0.3
plugins.famfamfam=1.0.1
plugins.hibernate=2.1.0
plugins.jquery=1.5.2
plugins.jquery-ui=1.8.11
plugins.lookups=1.4
plugins.mail=1.0
plugins.navigation=1.2
plugins.resources=1.1.6
plugins.spring-security-acl=1.1
plugins.spring-security-core=1.2.7.3
plugins.spring-security-ui=0.2
plugins.webflow=1.3.8

Finally! It's webflow plugin. Start working after upgraded it to v2.0.0. Its really confusing. I can't upgrade the plugin through install-plugin command. It only work if I add this plugin dependency in BuildConfig.groovy. I can't find any documentation about the latest version info of this plugin. On its Grails plugin page, it say 1.3.8 is the latest version.
