grails 2.4.4 #Resource gives 404 for all URLS - rest

Question

I am struggling to know how to implement REST in grails. the documentation says I should be able to do the following:
User.groovy
import grails.rest.*
#Resource(uri='/users')
class User {
// lots of stuff
}
UserController.groovy
class UserController {
static scaffold = true;
}
Basically, if I try any of the following URLS, I always get 404:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/users/
gives: HTTP Status 404 - "/players/index.gsp" not found.
http://localhost:8080/myapp/users/1
gives: 404, the requested resource is not available (I have users defined in bootstrap)
NOTE:
I also tried it with the scaffolding line commented out.
.../myapp/user does work, but gives the HTML page
Even if #Resource did work, it is not actually what I am looking for. I need custom logic for each method. I have found lots of documented different ways to do this in 2.3, but don't know if this is still the correct way for 2.4?

Answer 1

I found a working solution:
Remove the #Resource(uri='/users') line
Add the line: "/users"(resources:"user") to the file: urlMappings.groovy.
Et voila, works as it should have with the #Resource annotation, no other changes required.
I can only assume there is a bug in Resources annotation, or that it only works if you have no controller already defined or similar.
