Grails Spring Security Login/Logout Controllers not generated

Question

I am trying to learn Grails along with the Spring Security plugin. I am using Grails 2.3.0 with springsecurity-RC2 plugin and following the guide on the Grails website.

The issue I am running into is that the generated LoginController.groovy and LogoutController.groovy files from the s2-quickstart script are not being generated in the grails-app/controller, instead they are in target/work/springsecurity/grails-app/controller.

This issue does not seem to occur in grails 2.1.5 but does in 2.2.4. Is there anyway for me to fix these issues or do I not need them?

This is by design. The files aren't generated anymore, they're included in the plugin itself. If you need to modify them, copy the controller and/or GSPs to your project in the same location under grails-app and make your changes there. Apps can always override plugin classes using this approach since Grails compiles plugins first, then the app.

Though the nature of Grails encourages this, I would have loved to read about these changes in the "What's New in Version 2.0" guide. – Matthias Wenz Jan 29 '14 at 16:12
Great.. Simple and straight forward. Worked like a charm. – Manish Mudgal May 28 '14 at 12:03

Broken link :( Grails info becomes out of date so quickly... Also in Grails 3 where do you copy these files from? – ubiquibacon Aug 05 '16 at 16:29
