OracleXmlType in Grails - oracle

Question

I'm attempting to map a domain object's member type to OracleXmlType. I've followed Graeme Rocher's suggestion
here regarding adding xmlparserv2.jar to the classpath, as well as this post describing how to declare the static mapping. If I start Grails with
grails -cp %ORACLE_LIBS%/xmlparserv2.jar run-app
I get the following:

Starting grails with this (add xdb.jar to the classpath):
>grails -cp %ORACLE_LIBS%/xmlparserv2.jar:%ORACLE_LIBS%/xdb.jar run-app
results in this:

If I use the same classpath as my last invocation, and change my mapping to this:
static mapping = {
xmlContent type:"OracleXmlType" // quotes around OracleXmlType
}
... I get this:

The second and third attempts seem close. Could anyone shed some light on what I'm missing? Do I have to provide an implementation of OracleXmlType?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if this will fix it, but that sounds a lot like an issue I had with using XDB from a JSF application in glassfish. The problem was xmlparserv2.jar registers an older XML library than doesn't work with some server components.
Create a temp directory, unjar xmlparserv2.jar into it, remove the META-INF/services directory, and then jar it back up. Now deploy that modified jar file with application and see if it helps.
