title: Using the Spring Security plugin with Grails without the domain model
body: <p>We're using Grails but with an existing model layer and DAO layer.  We have an app written already in Spring MVC, using Spring for IoC and also Security.  I'm trying to port the control and view over to Grails as a proof of concept.  I have Grails working fine with IoC but am having some trouble getting Grails to work with Spring Security.  I'm using 0.5.1 of the Spring security plugin for grails.  I have an xml file with all of the spring security settings that work fine with the Spring MVC app, but I'm having trouble getting it to work in Grails.  If anyone has any experience using Grails with Spring Security but not using the domain part of the Spring security plugin, then please let me know.  Any advice, websites etc would be helpful.</p>
