Grails, Hibernate Event Listeners and ArrayStoreException

The Problem

Trying to register few Hibernate event listeners from plugin, But some how, registering the custom event listeners causes ArrayStoreException at runtime.

In plugin class

 def doWithSpring = {
	sanitizeHtmlListner(SanitizeHtmlListner)
	hibernateEventListeners(HibernateEventListeners) {
		listenerMap = ['save':sanitizeHtmlListner]
	}
    }

Listener class

class SanitizeHtmlListner implements SaveOrUpdateEventListener {
-----
}

Solution

No solution is known,

This is a bug in Grails, which will not let you register SaveAndUpdateListener,  and if you do, you get this error. if you try with pre-insert, pre-update listeners it should work. I don’t know what other listeners are affected.
