"Cannot cast object" error when using Find

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version are you using? (Morphia/Driver/MongoDB)
When I try this groovy source:

def Release release = datastore.find(Release.class, "releaseName =", 
"GIDRelease")

I get this exception:

Any clues?  I am using the find syntax as described here:

You need to add .get() at the end to return the first one. See the fourth 
example in the docs :

Yep. adding .get() worked.  Thanks.
