I am upgrading a grails app from 2.1.1 to 2.4.3 and solving errors along the upgrade is a never ending story.
Now I am stuck at this point.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks!

Instead of upgrading an existing grails application I tried to create a new application and copy files to the new project. This approach results in a different error.

What to do now?
Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------
Based on the suggestion below to remove reference to bean 'grailsResourceLoader, I changed the applicationContext.xml accordingly.

Unfortunately, the problem remains the same.

Thanks for any further help!!
-----------------------------------------
Is Java 1.8.0 required for Grails 2.4.3 ?
- No it is not, problem is the same even for java 8
