that sounds like a bug in the code generated by the groovy compiler for 
the one of the fields you use. Though I remember a bug like this being 
fixed... Can you ell us what groovy version you use? Also... that error 
message from Java is strangely descriptive. Normally you end up with a 
some very cryptic stuff from inside the jdk... could you tell me what 
Java version you use as well?

bye Jochen
