HibernateException in Grails 3 whenever doing GORM in console or shell

[Paul Waldo]

In grails 2.x I could perform GORM operation in both the console and shell.  Now when I try to do the same thing in 3.0.9, I get this error:

groovy:000> Person.count()

ERROR org.springframework.dao.DataAccessResourceFailureException:

Could not obtain current Hibernate Session; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread

I can wrap my statements in a transaction, but that defeats the ease of the shell and the console.  Any ideas how to resolve this?  Thanks!

Same issue with 3.0.19. 

Runs perfectly inside Intellij IDE, using run-app and as a JAR file from the command line, but not as a WAR file in Tomcat 7.
