it just says "cannot resolve class groovyx.net.ws.WSClient"

any body gives me an hint?

thanks!

The Groovy WSClient is not part of the core groovy distribution. It is actually a separate standalone library. You need to download it separately and put it on your classpath or use the Grab annotation to download it at runtime.

Example:

@Grab(group='org.codehaus.groovy.modules', module='groovyws', version='0.5.1')
import groovyx.net.ws.WSClient

Note that this was done with Groovy 1.7.2. Previous to 1.7 @Grab was not available on imports. If you are using an older version, put the @Grab on a method.
