I am getting error while running my Grails app.

My application working in Grails 2.1.4.

I am using 

Groovy 2.1.*
Java 1.7
Tomcat 7.0.37

I upgraded my application from Grails 2.1.4 to 2.3.0.M1. After I am getting some error like this:

I have answered to a similar question at How to migrate Grails 2.1 to Grails 2.3 application . As a summary, compare Config.groovy & BuildConfig.groovy to the default versions of a new Grails 2.3 app. Make sure your dependencies are in BuildConfig.groovy instead of application.properties and that Tomcat, Hibernate and Scaffolding plugins are correct version and have correct scope (build for Tomcat plugin, runtime for Hibernate).
