升级到grails 2.3.5：验证器例外

Question

自从升级到grails 2.3.5以来，hibernate插件的一个奇怪行为（从版本3.6.10.6迁移到3.6.10.7）导致运行时出现bean错误：

14-01-22 16:22:54,064 ERROR [GrailsContextLoader] - Error initializing the application: Error creating bean with name 'xxx.xxxx.StatisticsValidator': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire method: public void org.codehaus.groovy.grails.orm.hibernate.validation.HibernateDomainClassValidator.setProxyHandler(org.codehaus.groovy.grails.support.proxy.ProxyHandler); nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.util.ClassUtils.determineCommonAncestor(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/Class;)Ljava/lang/Class;

这是关注的Statistics域类，即使自grails 2.3.4以来没有任何更改：

class Statistics implements Serializable {

    static belongsTo = [profile: Profile]

    Profile profile

    String email
    String dbkey
    String clientCode
    String affiliatesNbr
    String freeStorageBonus
    String freeUsersBonus
    String storageUsed
    String storageAvailable
    String quotaUsersCurrent
    String quotaUsersAvailable
    String comments

    Date processedDate


    static constraints = {
        profile unique: true, nullable: false, blank: false
        email email: true, maxSize: 80, nullable: false, blank: false
        dbkey maxSize: 80, nullable: false, blank: false
        clientCode maxSize: 40, nullable: false, blank: false
        affiliatesNbr maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        freeStorageBonus maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        freeUsersBonus maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        storageUsed maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        storageAvailable maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        quotaUsersCurrent maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        quotaUsersAvailable maxSize: 40, nullable: true, blank: true
        comments maxSize: 180, nullable: true, blank: true
        processedDate nullable: true, blank: true
    }
