Grails + Shiro plugin fails on error creating ShiroFilters cannot resolve reference to bean transactionManager

After installing the Shiro plugin (v 1.1.3) in a Grails (v 1.3.7) application and using grails shiro-quick-start --prefix="Sec" to bootstrap the different Shiro classes grails run-app fails with the stack trace shown below.

Anybody got an idea what exactly is going wrong?

When staring the application the following exception is shown:

First install the Hibernate plugin, and only then the Shiro plugin.

The transactionManager bean is defined by the Hibernate plugin, so it was quite normal that the Shiro plugin classes could not reference the transactionManager bean.

Shame on me!
