Grails 3.2.4 standalone war failed to start

[HyFrankWang]

Follow the document http://docs.grails.org/latest/guide/gettingStarted.html
Create a simple helloworld project
execute grails run-app works fine
execute grails war to generate war file
java -jar build/libs/helloworld-0.1.war failed
try execute grails package to generate war file
java -jar build/libs/helloworld-0.1.war failed the same reason

[graemerocher]

Seems to only impact standalone packaging, deploying the WAR to Tomcat works. I've traced through the code, seems to be something within the Boot internals, not identified the cause yet

[zyro23]

ref. spring-projects/spring-boot#7360
manually downgrading to tomcat 8.5.5 (for now) fixed the problem for me.

// build.gradle
ext {
    set "tomcat.version", "8.5.5"
}

[graemerocher]

Fixed by upgrade to Spring Boot 1.4.4
