Hi,

Simple class CmsPage with a self-reference to a parent.

class CmsPage {
String name
CmsPage parent

static belongsTo = [parent:CmsPage]
// Validations
static constraints = { parent(nullable:true) }

}

When boostrapping the app in development mode - throwing a spring instanciation exception as below...
