Error with Async failure when using fallback protocols with spring-websocket and sockjs

[Dominic Fui Dodzi-Nusenu]

This post explains my problem best,

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27992636/spring-servlets-and-async-support-in-grails-2-4-4

I have had this error for a long time.. When in dev machine, I am not behind an apache proxy so  my websocket connection works fine, but on the production machine the websocket fails so the fallbacks (xhr_streaming, xhr, etc) are used and thats when I get this error.

I have checked the servlet version in BuildConfig, and my tomcat.scan is set to true...

I will jump for joy and be head over hills if someone can point me in the right direction of a fix.

Thanks
