Answer 1

I had a similar problem just a few days ago, with a groovy configuration file that I added into grails-app/conf. While this works with other resources (they are copied and available on the classpath), the problem with the groovy file was simply that it was compiled and the class file was included, i.e. not the groovy file itself.

I didn't find any good documentation on how this should be done and finally just added it to web-app/WEB-INF/classes. Groovy files placed here will be copied (not compiled) and available on the classpath.
