Task List

• [x] Steps to reproduce provided
• [x] Stacktrace (if present) provided
• [x] Example that reproduces the problem uploaded to Github
• [x] Full description of the issue provided (see below)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Generate a new template project on http://start.grails.org/ with web profile
2. Change the build.gradle file and replace tomcat with undertow as below

// Configuration part 
configurations {
    developmentOnly
    runtimeClasspath {
        extendsFrom developmentOnly
    }
   // @@ --> Follow two lines exclude tomcat packages
    compile.exclude module: 'spring-boot-starter-tomcat'
    compile.exclude group: 'org.apache.tomcat'    
}

// Include undertow explicitly and comment out tomcat part
dependencies {
    developmentOnly("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools")
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-logging"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-autoconfigure"
    compile "org.grails:grails-core"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator"
    compile 'org.grails.plugins:audit-logging:4.0.3'    
    //@@ --> Follow two lines Include undertow explicitly and comment out tomcat part
    //compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat"
    compile "org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-undertow"    

3. Configure audit plugin and start the application by grardle bootRun (can directly clone the repo I mentioned below)
4. Change Application.groovy and add a new line
5. Reload starts but failed and here are the exception

Expected Behaviour

Hot reload should success

Actual Behaviour

Hot reload fails and application stops response to frontend request

Environment Information

• Operating System: MacoS 11
• GORM Version: 7.0.8.RELEASE
• Grails Version (if using Grails): 4.0.12
• JDK Version: 11

Example Application

https://github.com/xqliu/grails-audit-plugin-issue-reproduce

[xqliu]

I have debugged the application and it is caused by deploymentInfo in file io.undertow.servlet.spec.ServletContextImpl is null, when springboot-dev-tools restart the application, the deploymentInfo was first set to null in destroy() method of io.undertow.servlet.spec.ServletContextImpl, but never been set a new value, so NPE error was thrown in below code

 @Override
    public Enumeration<String> getInitParameterNames() {
        return new IteratorEnumeration<>(deploymentInfo.getInitParameters().keySet().iterator());
                                                                 //deploymentInfo is null
    }

The error was caused by the follow line in auditable/ReflectionUtils.groovy

    static void setAuditConfig(ConfigObject c) {
        ConfigObject config = new ConfigObject()
        config.grails.plugin.auditLog = c

        PropertySource propertySource = new MapPropertySource('AuditConfig', [:] << config)
        def propertySources = application.mainContext.environment.propertySources
        propertySources.addFirst propertySource

        // Follow line caused the exception mentioned above
        getApplication().config = new PropertySourcesConfig(propertySources)
    }

Hope the analysis helps.

Thanks.
