remote control not available when using catch-all URL mapping

[alxndrsn]

Not sure if this is grails-remote-control's fault, but with a catch-all URL mapping like so:

class UrlMappings {
    static mappings = {
        "/**"(controller:'boss')
    }
}

I get the following exception:

|  groovyx.remote.RemoteControlException: Error sending command chain to 'http://localhost:8080/wsmocker/grails-remote-control'

The fix is to add the following line to URL Mappings:

static excludes = ['/grails-remote-control']

so it looks like this:

class UrlMappings {
    static excludes = ['/grails-remote-control']
    static mappings = {
        "/**"(controller:'boss')
    }
}

Again, I'm not sure if this can be fixed in grails-remote-control, but I think it's worth mentioning as the excludes options is not mentioned in the grails documentation, and it could be tricky to figure this out.

This isn't something that we can fix, but a note in the docs would be great.

Would you mind submitting a pull request to the readme?

Sure thing.

Thanks for the docs!

This is in 1.5.
