The defaultViews references the views.properties file in our jar that was built. However, when the processing fails, the defaultViews variable references the view.properties in the spring-security-core jar file.
In GroovyPagesGrailsPlugin.groovy#L180-L189,
It looks through all plugins adding their views to the allViewsProperties variable which will contain 2 entries for spring-security-core-3.0.2 and fields-2.1.2.
At GroovyPagesGrailsPlugin.groovy#L191 when working, our jar is added to the allViewsProperties list. However, when not working the spring-security-core views are added a 2nd time to the allViewsProperties variable. This is the ultimate cause of access to the homepage resulting in the whitelabel error page.

We can't link the application as it requires licensing and would kill itself before the homepage could be displayed, but here is a link to a debugging session that 1st shows the gsp processing working correctly on a desktop and then the same container running on a laptop with the failing behavior.
https://ent.box.com/s/fz6vlb4z20abg02ix2wetfr2r0z87tqz
Task List
Steps to Reproduce
We run the following command:
We then try and access the default homepage at http://localhost:1506
Expected Behaviour
Tell us what should happen
The home page should be displayed.
Actual Behaviour
Tell us what happens instead
Depending on what system the container is run on, the gsp processing behaves differently. Basically GroovyPagesGrailsPlugin.groovy#177 file,
The defaultViews references the views.properties file in our jar that was built. However, when the processing fails, the defaultViews variable references the view.properties in the spring-security-core jar file.
In GroovyPagesGrailsPlugin.groovy#L180-L189, It looks through all plugins adding their views to the allViewsProperties variable which will contain 2 entries for spring-security-core-3.0.2 and fields-2.1.2.
At GroovyPagesGrailsPlugin.groovy#L191 when working, our jar is added to the allViewsProperties list. However, when not working the spring-security-core views are added a 2nd time to the allViewsProperties variable. This is the ultimate cause of access to the homepage resulting in the whitelabel error page.
